Package: octave-common
Version: 3.6.2-5
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
It appears that the installation of the packages
octave-java 1.2.8-6 amd64
octave-io 1.0.19-1 amd64
together with the promotion of warnings to errors
warning error Octave:str-to-num
triggers the error, as installation of octave-java makes the read of the
octave-io package file
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/packages/io-1.0.19/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-api-v48+/PKG_ADD
mandatory, which in turn crashes with an error in the
/usr/share/octave/3.6.2/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 274, column 3
A short script triggering the undesired behaviour directly is this one:
--- snip ---
#!/usr/bin/octave -q
warning error Octave:str-to-num
pkg ("list");
--- snip ---
I did expect the code contained in the octave-common packages to support all
kind of
promotion from warnings to errors, as this helps developing clean code.
best regards, and thanks for packaging octave,
Marc Cromme
