so it seems that "dispatch" was removed deliberately, however the
install/upgrade process depends on it.
Actually the octave-fixed package has been removed from the Debian
archive because it is unmaintained and no longer works with current
Octave. And octave 3.8.1-1 should have forced a removal of the
octave-fixed package if it were installed. How do you have it
installed in /usr/share/octave/packages/fixed-0.7.10?
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
[...]
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"
The correct resolution should be removal of the fixed package, whether
it was installed locally by you or from the octave-fixed Debian
package. Depending on your answer to the above, does removal of the
package (and removal of this dispatch.oct file) fix the configuration
error for you?
