Description:
why is sage with all of its own versions of free libraries, which are available in archlinux, in /opt installed?
According to the arch packaging rules you shouldn't do both.
Also it boosts the size of the package drastically (and eat my disk space).
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Not a bug, until fedora splits it into multiple packages, sage uses it's own libraries. This is why it is in /opt, go read the arch packaging guidelines, self contained packages go in /opt
