Package: octave2.1
Version: 2.1.66-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
The current octave "plot" appears to depend on grace as the default plotting
bbackend and seg faults if grace is not found.
Here's a trace.

octave:3> plot(t,x);
grplot: Cannot start xmgrace
grplot:No grace subprocess
Segmentation fault
