The culprit is texinfo.tex, which is shipped in the octave* and octave*-packages and includes epsf.tex. Even the most recent upstream version of this file [1] includes epsf.tex. I think that graphics.sty would not work with texinfo, because it is TeX rather than LaTeX. 1. http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/texinfo/texinfo/doc/texinfo.tex?rev=1.237&view=auto -- Rafael
