[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#681064: octave: does not configure properly

[Santiago Vila]

Package: octave
Version: 3.6.2-2
Severity: serious

I had a wheezy system which was updated to wheezy last week.

After "apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get dist-upgrade" today I decided
to install octave and octave-info, then purge octave3.2 and octave3.2-info.

Now octave does not configure:

# dpkg --pending --configure 
Setting up octave (3.6.2-2) ...
warning: X11 DISPLAY environment variable not set
error: could not find the file or path /usr/share/octave/packages
error: called from:

error:   /usr/share/octave/3.6.2/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 418, column 16
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.6.2/m/startup/octaverc at line 26, column 1

dpkg: error processing octave (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Processing triggers for menu ...
Errors were encountered while processing:

Attached complete (gzipped) dpkg.log for today in case it's useful to
diagnose the problem.

Thanks.
