Given a script such as:
t = clock()
etime(clock(), t)
results in the following error message:
error: element number 2 undefined in return list
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 45, column 13
error: called from `etime' in file
`/usr/share/octave/2.9.6/m/time/etime.m'
error: near line 2 of file `xxx.m'
Investigating the error message shows that it is generated by the
following line of code in etime.m:
[d1, s1] = datenum (t1);
Further investigating the function datenum(...) with `help datenum',
gives the following text:
-- Function File: datenum(Y, M, D [, h , m [, s]])
-- Function File: datenum('date' [, P])
Returns the specified local time as a day number, with Jan 1, 0000
being day 1. By this reckoning, Jan 1, 1970 is day number 719529.
The fractional portion, corresponds to the portion of the
specified day.
datenum(...) does not have two returns! Reverting to the etime.m of
2.1.73 (in the stable tree), in
/usr/share/octave/2.1.73/m/miscellaneous/ *seems* to provide a temporary
workaround to the problem.

.
* debian/in/PACKAGE.conf: Added code for removing all the directories
containing octave-forge .m scripts. This allows octave2.9 and
octave-forge to be installed together and avoids errors in octave2.9
such as etime calling an outdated datenum function from octave-forge
(closes: #375646).
