sage: Test failure

[jpas]

Describe the bug

The tests related to sagenb fail. https://hydra.nixos.org/build/123157309/nixlog/1
This failure seems to be cause by the deprecation of SecureCookie in werkzeug as of 1.0 (in pr #89723).

Sagenb is deprecated https://wiki.sagemath.org/sagenb, so we could disable these tests to fix the build.

It may also be worthwhile to put some effort into packaging Sage 9.1 and 9.2. But these use python3 as a base so the update may be non-trivial.

Unfortunately the sage test suite has been broken due to some hard-to-track-down issue in the last python packages update. The sagenb issues is new to me though. I just didn't have enough time to track this down yet. Help is appreciated.

It may also be worthwhile to put some effort into packaging Sage 9.1 and 9.2. But these use python3 as a base so the update may be non-trivial.

I have already put a lot of effort into that. The issue is that upstream did the python3 switch in a way that made it very hard for distro maintainers. Again, I already put a lot of hours into it but didn't have the time to finish it. I was also a bit demotivated since the difficulties were unnecessary in my opinion. Hopefully the next release will make it easier. See #70474 for details. Again, help appreciated.
