You may be right.
I remember having a segfault during the installation of one of the
Octave packages. This segfault was caused in conjunction with the old
OpenGL library installed by the NVIDIA driver (Version 185.18.36) left
over from the previous Lenny installation. However, package
configuration worked fine after upgrading the NVIDIA driver. Maybe the
installation of octave3.2-common was somehow corrupted by this incident.
Sorry - so this "bug" was probably not a problem of the octave3.2
package but of my local installation.
Cheers
Michael
