Package: octave
Version: 3.8.1-1+b1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
while upgrading (apt-get upgrade) octave-dataframe (0.9.1-1 => 1.0.0-1)
the following error happened:
>> ...
>> Processing triggers for octave (3.8.1-1+b1) ...

in the changelog for liboctave2 one finds:

>> * func.txi: Remove "Legacy Dispatch" from Function Precedence section.
>> The dispatch function was removed and doesn't exist in 3.8.
>> .....
so it seems that "dispatch" was removed deliberately, however the
install/upgrade process depends on it.
to workaround this and to finally finish the upgrade I searched
for "dispatch.oct" in an older deb-package and copied it into:
/usr/lib/octave/3.2.4/site/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/dispatch.oct
then I tried
>> aptitude reinstall octave
>> The following packages will be REINSTALLED:
>> octave
>> Preparing to unpack .../octave_3.8.1-1+b1_amd64.deb ...
>> Unpacking octave (3.8.1-1+b1) over (3.8.1-1+b1) ...

>> Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils (0.22-1) ...
>> Processing triggers for mime-support (3.54) ...
>> Setting up octave (3.8.1-1+b1) ...
>> ...
the install finished successfully, however other error messages appear whenever I try
to start octave, since I introduced library inconsistencies by using an ancient version
of "dispatch.oct"
