Package: matlab2tikz Version: 1.1.0-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
The README.Debian says: If you are using Octave, matlab2tikz() is already available in the path. See README.md for more details on usage. However calling matlab2tikz in Octave fails with the following error: octave:1> figure octave:2> matlab2tikz test.tex error: 'getEnvironment' undefined near line 6730 column 23 error: called from matlab2tikz>checkDeprecatedEnvironment at line 6730 column 21 matlab2tikz at line 144 column 5 Here Octave finds /usr/share/octave/site/m/matlab2tikz.m which is a symlink to /usr/share/matlab2tikz/matlab2tikz.m . Note that it works when the call doesn't go through the symlink: octave:1> addpath /usr/share/matlab2tikz warning: function /usr/share/matlab2tikz/matlab2tikz.m shadows a core library function octave:2> figure octave:3> matlab2tikz test.tex -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.6 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.14.74-07776-gac52e5f750c8 (SMP w/4 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages matlab2tikz depends on: ii octave 4.4.1-2~bpo9+1 Versions of packages matlab2tikz recommends: ii texlive-latex-extra 2016.20170123-5 ii texlive-pictures 2016.20170123-5 matlab2tikz suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
