Meta-ticket: Fix optional and experimental packages

Broken optional packages (from #29890):

boost (broken on macOS), database_stein_watkins_mini, texlive (although why anyone would want to install texlive via Sage is baffling to me).
broken experimental packages:
The experimental packages are even worse: I tried most of them, and only one (compilerwrapper) succeeded.

Also broken:

cryptominisat on Ubuntu 20.04 - https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sage-devel/e53fr1CObk8/dLFTqxHeBgAJ
