[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#477556: I see this problem one computer, not on another

[Svante Signell]

Same problem as the reporter on one box, not on another.

Both boxes: (same file)

ls -l /usr/lib/octave/3.0.1/oct/*/cellfun.oct
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 88804 Apr 22
23:58 /usr/lib/octave/3.0.1/oct/i486-pc-linux-gnu/cellfun.oct

Startup files:

ls -l /usr/share/octave/3.0.1/m/startup/octaverc
/usr/share/octave/3.0.1/m/startup/octaverc -> /etc/octave3.0.conf

Same file, but different creation dates:
diff -ubB ./octave3.0.conf /etc/octave3.0.conf

Cannot see any differences except the dates. No clue unfortunately, I
can only confirm the problem.

Faulty box:

PS. Maybe the startup file should be named octave3.0.1.conf?
