Matthias Klose has made a change to the plplot package in Ubuntu which
prevents the building of the Octave binding for PLplot. In sum, this
means the removal of the octave-plplot package. This is a radical way of
fixing Bug#73639, which is blocking the Octave 3.6 -> 3.8 transition.
Matthias patch can be found in :
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736392#50
I am Cc:ing this message to Andrew Ross, who is an upstream developer of
PLplot and also the maintainer of the Debian package. I hope that he
will agree with this change and that he or another DD will uploads a new
version of the plplot package. We could reintroduce octave-plplot in the
future, when the situation will become stable again.
Best,
Rafael
