This is not a bug, but a change in functionality.  In 2.9 (a
development version leading to 3.0, which will be a major new release
with some backward-incompatible changes) all the built-in variables
have been removed and replaced by functions.  In most cases the
functions have the same names as the old built-in variables, but some
have been completely removed.  LOADPATH is one that has been removed.
Now you need to use addpath, rmpath, etc. to manipulate the path.

The error is caused by the use of LOADPATH in the config file
/etc/octave2.9.conf. I have not changed the config file, and I have
purged and reinstalled the package just to be sure.
