The error message explains what happened, though it's a bit unusual.
sagemath requires /bin/sh and no package appears to provide that. 
Either bash should provide both /bin/sh and /usr/bin/sh or sagemath 
should require /usr/bin/sh instead of /bin/sh. There was some discussion 
about this problem in general on one of the lists roughly a month ago. 
Probably the best way to start is by filing a bug with sagemath.

Also note, that you won't see this when you aren't using mock since 
the path /bin/sh will work on the system you are running on.
