The octave2.1 package is being held back by lack of a powerpc package. No
idea why. I have generally given up following each and every package through
-- we simply have too many architecture to keep this semi-reliable. I told
the poster in a follow-up on octave-help to get himself fresh packages from
unstable.
For octave-plplot, the dependendies are much messier and releated to gcc 3.4
and the libunwind mess. That is way behind me, but my octave-forge is being
bitten by the same problem.
