[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#538043: octplot doesn't work with the current version of octave in "testing"

[wzabolot@elektron.elka.pw.edu.pl]

Package: octplot
Version: 0.4.0-7
Severity: normal


When I try to activate the octplot I get the following message:
octave:1> toggle_octplot
error: Octplot was compiled for a different version of Octave
error: evaluating if command near line 40, column 3
error: evaluating if command near line 28, column 1
error: near line 54 of file
`/usr/share/octave/site/api-v32/m/octplot_enable.m'
error: evaluating if command near line 26, column 1
error: near line 32 of file
`/usr/share/octave/site/api-v32/m/toggle_octplot.m'

The reason are the lines 40-42 in the file octplot_enable.m:
  if(strcmp(version(),"3.0.1")==0)
    error("Octplot was compiled for a different version of Octave");
  endif

The octplot will run only with octave 3.0.1, while current octave version in
testing is 3.0.5
In the dependencies of octplot we find: "Depends: octave3.0 (>= 3.0.1)" -
which does not agree with the above code.
