The lines

/usr/bin/sage: line 14: module: command not found
/usr/bin/sage: line 15: module: command not found

are very suspicious. It appears some packages (at
least environment-modules) were removed with --nodeps
what caused the "toplevel" only rpm dependencies to
be reinstalled.

I just did the procedures, install, remove, install
again, in a f19 computer and it works.

It is possible that you have some wrong files or
symlinks from very earlier sagemath packages that
had a bug with upgrades. To ensure it is not older
files around, remove sagemath, and then remove
anything under

/usr/share/sagemath

and

/usr/lib64/sagemath # for x86_64
/usr/lib/sagemath # for i586

and install sagemath again.

Indeed I use --nodeps for a problem with the nvidia drivers, but I do not know ho this is related to sage.

I now removed all files you suggested, but the problem still persists.

Thank you nevertheless

You can try something like

rpm -V `rpm -qa`
