Both functions (sqp, qp) are in Octave itself, and the problem is
already known : http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?38875.

How should we deal with this issue to prevent octave-stk-2.4.2-1 from
being removed from testing ?
I'd suggest to mark it as an xtest, since there is nothing you can do about right now.
Sounds good to me. A Debian-specific patch (that can be removed later when
octave is fixed) is probably the easy way, but you can also do a new upstream
release if you prefer.
I have pushed a Debian-specific patch.  Can you please check that I did that
right ?
Yes it's good. I just added some more DEP-3 metadata.

If it's ok, I think that we should do a 2.4.2-2 release to prevent removal
from testing.
Thanks, uploaded.

Hi all,

Some of the tests currently fail in the continuous integration system:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/octave-stk

The problem is that there is no graphics toolkit available.

gnuplot-nox is used to avoid this when building, but what should we do here ?

It wouldn't seem right to add gnuplot-nox, or any particular graphics toolkit, to the dependencies of octave-stk...

Should I create a patch to disable all the tests that produce graphics ?  Or is there a way to indicate "testing-dependencies" ?
