Re: [Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#335451: marked as done (octave-forge uninstallable on testing)

[Paul Kienzle <pkienzle@users.sf.net>]

I may have asked this before, but couldn't octave-forge recommend 
libginac rather than requiring it?

If it would help, I could rename symbols() to __symbols__() and write a 
little wrapper symbols() which calls __symbols__() in a try-catch block 
with a message reporting that ginac needs to be installed for symbols 
to work.

Also, I believe the only dependency is libginac.  This depends on 
libcln which in turn depends (optionally?) on libgmp.
