Why did you release it then? Just curious, you have been working on the
package quite a lot in the last few months.

Can you supply me with a tarball of that version? I'm currently trying
to build the package tarball using octave-forge's trunk, but messages like

"svn: REPORT von
»/svnroot/octave/!svn/bc/5245/trunk/octave-forge/language/pt_BR«: Could
not read response body: Secure connection truncated
(https://octave.svn.sourceforge.net)
-:3: parser error : Premature end of data in tag log line 2"

make me wonder what the hell the build/release system is doing there.

Please open a bug as Rafael suggested. You know the package, so you know
where the current version breaks.
