It's not that. ;)

Its actually the pretrans. ;(
You CANNOT use shell in a pretrans. I'm not sure why people keep trying
to do this. Perhaps we could get rpm to throw a build time error...
You are perhaps referring to this in sage.spec:
########################################################################
%pretrans
# Temporary due to moving directory to symlink
if [ ! -L %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel -a -d %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel ]; then
mkdir %{SAGE_SRC}
mv %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel/* %{SAGE_SRC}
rmdir %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel
ln -s src %{SAGE_ROOT}/devel
fi
Please do file a bug on sagemath.
