[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#877149: please install a workaround

[Francesco Potortì <Potorti@isti.cnr.it>]

I am affected by this bug when using fltk and visible off.

I worked around this by installing a shell executable like this:

===File /usr/bin/octave-cli-bug-50479=======================
#! /bin/sh

LD_PRELOAD=libGLX_mesa.so.0 exec octave-cli "$@"
============================================================

I strongly suggest that Debian installs a similar workaround while
waiting for the ral bug to be corrected.
