[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#466723: octave3.0: octave doesn't (auto)load pkg at start up

[Eric Chassande-Mottin]

Package: octave3.0
Version: 3.0.0-1
Severity: normal

pkg doesn't load packages marked "auto" at start up.
this is due to a missing "pkg load auto" in
/usr/share/octave/3.0.0/m/startup/octaverc
