[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#516772: octave3.1: does not see installed packages
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.
