Workaround: I rebuilt the whole package locally, and it works flawlessly out of the box. For those interested in this workaround, here's a synopsis:
# Install the dev packages needed to build octave. sudo apt-get build-dep octave # Get the official source package. Do this in a clean directory, because it will get polluted. cd ~/some/suitable/directory apt-get source octave # Build it. This took roughly an hour for me. cd octave-3.8.2 dpkg-buildpackage # Either run it from the build directory: ./run-octave # ...or install it over the official octave: cd .. sudo dpkg --install octave_3.8.2-4_amd64.deb -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372202 Title: octave needs to be rebuilt against graphicsmagick 1.3.20-4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/octave/+bug/1372202/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
