Error 1
The bug is actually in the dbfwrite and dbfread functions in the octave-io
package, which are used in the unit test of function shapewrite of the
octave-mapping package, whose failure is shown above.
I filed a bug report in the upstream bug tracker, regarding this issue:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?58457
I will patch the octave-io package, in order to fix the problem.
