[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#732296: octave: English locale, new attempt, same behaviour

[Martin Weiser]

Package: octave
Version: 3.6.2-5+deb7u1
Followup-For: Bug #732296

Dear Maintainer,

apt-get install octave fails, even when I (AFAIK) purged all traces of HDF5 from my system.
Here I enclose new version of my bugreport (with English locale):
