Actually the octave-fixed package has been removed from the Debian archive because it is unmaintained and no longer works with current Octave. And octave 3.8.1-1 should have forced a removal of the octave-fixed package if it were installed. How do you have it installed in /usr/share/octave/packages/fixed-0.7.10? > to workaround this and to finally finish the upgrade I searched > for "dispatch.oct" in an older deb-package and copied it into: > /usr/lib/octave/3.2.4/site/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dispatch.oct > [...] > the install finished successfully, however other error messages appear > whenever I try > to start octave, since I introduced library inconsistencies by using an > ancient version > of "dispatch.oct" The correct resolution should be removal of the fixed package, whether it was installed locally by you or from the octave-fixed Debian package. Depending on your answer to the above, does removal of the package (and removal of this dispatch.oct file) fix the configuration error for you? -- mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
