Package: octave3.2
Version: 3.2.3-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable


Dear Maintainers,

During installation the Octave 3.2 package does not create the directory
/usr/share/octave/packages/3.2. This results in the following problem
in package configuration:
---
# apt-get install octave3.2
[...]
Wähle vormals abgewähltes Paket octave3.2.
(Lese Datenbank ... 424160 Dateien und Verzeichnisse sind derzeit installiert.)
Entpacke octave3.2 (aus .../octave3.2_3.2.3-1_amd64.deb) ...

dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von octave3.2 (--configure):

Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 octave3.2
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
---

in line 25 of /usr/share/octave/3.2.3/m/startup/octaverc the following
command is issued:

pkg global_list /usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/octave_packages;

After I created directory /usr/share/octave/packages/3.2 manually,
"dpkg --configure octave3.2" worked find.

Thanks and cheers,
       Michael
