Hi Vladimir, |

This is unfortunately due to sage’s direct dependency to “jmol” |
| 4 |
(sage-jmol-bin these days) it used to be only a dependency |
| 5 |
through the sage-notebook with the flag java. But sage uses jmol |
| 6 |
directly for 3D plots as its default backend. I, and others - |
| 7 |
including the people maintaining sage in debian - wish it weren’t |
| 8 |
so :( Mostly because we have a very low opinion about jmol from |
| 9 |
a packaging perspective. |
| 10 |
It may be possible to use something else for 3D plots and make |
| 11 |
jmol optional but that’s work I am not quite ready to commit to. |
