* Rafael Laboissière <rafael@debian.org> [2019-10-05 00:39]:Yes, let us postpone this work for when the Octave 5 transition is completed. I will try to look at some of current build failures.I uploaded some fixed packages to ustable: octave-fits octave-linear-algebra octave-miscellaneous octave-strings octave-video
I also uploaded a fixed octave-parallel to unstable.Among those packages, only octave-fits built correctly [1]. Some package like octave-linear-algebra [2], octave-parallel [3], octave-strings [4], and octave-video [5] give a strange error message "BD-Uninstallable (Extra-Depends: liboctave7)".
Does anyone know what is going on?
