Package: grace6
Version: 5.99.0+final-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: Debian Octave Group <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 

The grace6 package has:

    Replaces: grace
    Provides: grace

However, grace6 does not really replace the grace package.  Users of the
octave-forge forge package are complaining that the graceplot interface,
which worked with grace, ceased to work with grace6.  The problem is that
the command interpreter is removed from grace6 making interfacing with Grace
(like graceplot does) impossible.

There has been some discussion about this in the octave-dev mailing list at
SourceForge:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6697008&forum_id=4874

Would it be possible to have grace and grace6 not conflicting with each other?
