[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#514802: octave-symbolic: (un)install accesses user .octave_hist

Package: octave-symbolic
Version: 1.0.6-3
Severity: normal
Whenever I install or uninstall octave-symbolic (so I have this twice for
any upgrade), I get the message:
error: Permission denied
Looking at the output of strace -f, I notice that this happens because
something tries to access my .octave_hist. I am running the command as:
sudo apt-get ...
so HOME still points to my user directory, which is NFS mounted (so no
access for root).
If the install process needs to run octave, I guess it should specify the
configuration files to use.
