Package: octave3.1 Version: 3.1.52-4 Severity: normal $ mv ~/.octaverc /tmp
$ octave -qf octave:1> pkg load statistics octave:2> quit $ octave -q octave:1> pkg load statistics error: package statistics is not installed error: called from: error: /usr/share/octave/3.1.52/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 2008, column 4 error: /usr/share/octave/3.1.52/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 303, column 7 octave:1> quit That is, if I tell Octave to ignore the system-wide octaverc file, packages are normally loaded, else all packages are seen are not installed. Tha reason is that the distributed /etc/octave3.1.conf file sets the pkg list to be /usr/share/octave/packages/3.1/octave_packages, which is empty. The real list, built by previous versions of Octave, is at /usr/share/octave/octave_packages, and that's the place where the pkg command goes when Octave is called with -qf. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, lc_ctype=it...@euro (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages octave3.1 depends on: ii libarpack2 2.1+parpack96.dfsg-1 Fortran77 subroutines to solve lar ii libatlas3gf-base [l 3.6.0-22 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii libblas3gf [libblas 1.2-2 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.18.2-8 Multi-protocol file transfer libra ii libfftw3-3 3.1.2-3.1 library for computing Fast Fourier ii libfltk1.1 1.1.9-6 Fast Light Toolkit - shared librar ii libfreetype6 2.3.7-2 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libftgl2 2.1.3~rc5-2 library to render text in OpenGL u ii libgcc1 1:4.3.3-3 GCC support library ii libgfortran3 4.3.3-3 Runtime library for GNU Fortran ap ii libgl1-mesa-glx [li 7.0.3-7 A free implementation of the OpenG ii libglpk0 4.35-1 linear programming kit with intege ii libglu1-mesa [libgl 7.0.3-7 The OpenGL utility library (GLU) ii libgraphicsmagick++ 1.1.11-3.2 format-independent image processin ii libgraphicsmagick1 1.1.11-3.2 format-independent image processin ii libhdf5-serial-1.6. 1.6.6-4 Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjasper1 1.900.1-5.1 The JasPer JPEG-2000 runtime libra ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii liblapack3gf [libla 3.1.1-6 library of linear algebra routines ii liblcms1 1.17.dfsg-1 Color management library ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libpcre3 7.8-2 Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expressi ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-2 PNG library - runtime ii libqhull5 2003.1-11 calculate convex hulls and related ii libreadline5 5.2-3.1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-2 X11 Session Management library ii libstdc++6 4.3.3-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libsuitesparse-3.2. 1:3.2.0-1 collection of libraries for comput ii libtiff4 3.8.2-11 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8.4-6 Windows metafile conversion librar ii libx11-6 2:1.1.5-2 X11 client-side library ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5 GNOME XML library ii octave3.1-common 3.1.52-4 architecture-independent files for ii texinfo 4.11.dfsg.1-4 Documentation system for on-line i ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages octave3.1 recommends: ii gnuplot 4.2.4-4 A command-line driven interactive ii libatlas3gf-base 3.6.0-22 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Versions of packages octave3.1 suggests: pn octave3.1-doc <none> (no description available) ii octave3.1-emacsen 3.1.52-4 Emacs support for the GNU Octave l ii octave3.1-headers 3.1.52-4 header files for the GNU Octave la pn octave3.1-htmldoc <none> (no description available) ii octave3.1-info 3.1.52-4 GNU Info documentation on the GNU -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
