I'm not happy with this. The 3.0.0 path does exist in octave3.0, so you
might have found something that's just difficult to trigger. Was the
clean chroot generated by scratch or did you install something in it
before the installation of octave2.1? Similarly, did you install
octave2.1 or the virtual octave package?
