I am unable to reproduce this bug on two different Debian testing systems
I have access. I get on both of them:
$ dpkg -l octave-ltfat octave-ltfat-common octave | grep ^ii
ii octave 3.8.2-4 i386 GNU Octave language for numerical computations
ii octave-ltfat 2.0.1-1 i386 Large Time/Frequency Analysis Toolbox
ii octave-ltfat-common 2.0.1-1 all Large Time/Frequency Analysis Toolbox (arch-indep files)
$ echo "rcond(magic(31))" | octave -q
ans = 0.030391
It is pretty surprising for me that the presence or not of the
octave-ltfat package will have an effect on the behavior of rcond, which
is in Octave core:
$ echo "which rcond" | octave -q
'rcond' is a built-in function from the file libinterp/corefcn/rcond.cc
