[Pkg-octave-devel] Removal of SWIG octave-forge packages

[Thomas Weber]

Hi, 

I would like us to remove the SWIG wrapper packages from octave-forge
from Debian immediately. Reasons:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=523085
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=528078

The database package is not in Debian, but the problem is the same.
These packages are *known* to crash Octave on "clear" commands. That's
pre-alpha quality in my book and there's no sign of getting this fixed
upstream.

What's worse, users attribute this crash to Octave and not to the
package.

	Thomas
