Hello,

the installation of texlive-lang-polish fails if octave-forge is
installed with the following message:

Selecting previously deselected package texlive-lang-polish.

Unpacking texlive-lang-polish (from

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:

When I remove octave-forge the installation of texlive-lang-polish works
fine.
