Package: octave3.0
Version: 1:3.0.5-6
Severity: normal
How to reproduce this bug
Install octave-communications (dependency of the ga package)
$ aptitude install octave-communications
Download ga.tar.gz from
http://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/octave/trunk/octave-forge/main/ga.tar.gz?view=tar
Try to locally install ga (in a subdirectory of your home)
$ echo "pkg install ga.tar.gz" | octave -q
I get:
error: couldn't create installation directory /usr/share/octave/packages/3.0/ga-0.9.7 : Permission denied
error: called from `pkg:copy_files' in file /usr/share/octave/3.0.5/m/pkg/pkg.mnear line 1425, column 7
It is strange, because if I remember well octave should create ./ga-0.9.7 directory (i.e. not in /usr/...).
Cheers,
Luca Favatella
