[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#366729: octave-forge function leasqr has bad variables

[Olafur Jens Sigurdsson]

Package: octave-forge
Version: 2006.01.28-2

Hi, when I try to use the leasqr function I get the following error:

usage: retsys = ss  (a,b,c{,d,tsam,n,nz,stname,inname,outname,outlist})
error: evaluating if command near line 193, column 3
error: called from ss' in file /usr/share/octave/2.1.72/m/control/system/ss.m'
error: evaluating binary operator <' near line 248, column 8
error: if: error evaluating conditional expression
error: evaluating if command near line 248, column 3
error: evaluating for command near line 186, column 1
error: called from leasqr' in file /usr/share/octave/site/m/octave-forge/optim/leasqr.m'

Looking at the leasqr.m file I see that it has an undefined variable
called ss. This is perhaps not a good idea :-)

System is Debian/Gnu unstable with kernel 2.6.12-1-386 and libc6
2.3.5-7.
