Hi, In the latest release of octave-java, I introduced a debian/check.m which runs a few functions from the package. It worked fine on my amd64 box (and apparently on Thomas'), but it fails on all autobuilders except i386 [1]. I think the failure is spurious and is a race condition. Actually the first line of debian/check.m is a "disp()" and if I remove it, I can reproduce the crash on my machine. I really don't know why this is so. Octave crashes because it says it can't find java_invoke. This function is autoloaded through PKG_ADD. I don't know if there is a link between the crash and the fact that octave-pkg-dev does not source PKG_ADD for debian/check.m. Still I don't understand why it works in some cases and not in others. Any hint? If it turns out to be the easy way out, I am ok with removing this new debian/check.m.
