Environment

- **OS**: Using Ubuntu 20.04 inside Docker in Mac M2
- **Sage Version**: 10.2

Steps To Reproduce

I tried to install sage using the commands mentioned as a solution to a previous issue raised here.

I get the following error:

Is the qepcad-B.1.72.tar.gz not being downloaded the issue, is there any way to resolve this?

Thanks

It seems that there could be several issues at play here.

First, B.1.72 dates back to from 2018, when arm64 arch wasn't very
popular, and so
it probably wasn't even tested.
I found that Ubuntu 22 (but not Ubuntu 20) carries a version of qepad
package for arm64, version B.1.74, which dates back to 2021,
and might be a better fit. We'll do an update of our qepcad package.
Is there any chance you could switch to Ubuntu 22? (With docker it
might be matter of minutes).

Then you can try installing qepcad using apt-get and check that it
works. While Sage doesn't at the moment have an option to use a
system-wide qepcad,
it is trivial to add, and we'll take care of this.

I think #36837 ought to work on your machine (at least it works natively on an M1 macOS machine)

@dimpase Thank you, do I have to change the OS of the docker to Ubuntu 22.04? It does not seem to work on Ubuntu 20.04 (with the docker). I get the following error:

I just ran the make command, should I do a fresh install of sage 10.2?
Thank you!

you most probably don't have to change the OS, but you need to check out the branch of that PR and build it. It will install version.1.74 of qepcad
