Package: octave-symbolic Version: 1.0.6-3 Severity: normal Whenever I install or uninstall octave-symbolic (so I have this twice for any upgrade), I get the message:
error: Permission denied Looking at the output of strace -f, I notice that this happens because something tries to access my .octave_hist. I am running the command as: sudo apt-get ... so HOME still points to my user directory, which is NFS mounted (so no access for root). If the install process needs to run octave, I guess it should specify the configuration files to use. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (50, 'testing'), (10, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-6-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages octave-symbolic depends on: ii libatlas3gf-base [libl 3.6.0-22 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii libatlas3gf-sse2 [libl 3.6.0-22 Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra ii libblas3gf [libblas.so 1.2-2 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3 ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcln5 1.2.2-2 Class Library for Numbers (C++) ii libfftw3-3 3.1.2-3.1 library for computing Fast Fourier ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libgfortran3 4.3.2-1.1 Runtime library for GNU Fortran ap ii libginac1.4 1.4.3-1 The GiNaC symbolic framework (runt ii libhdf5-serial-1.6.6-0 1.6.6-4 Hierarchical Data Format 5 (HDF5) ii liblapack3gf [liblapac 3.1.1-1 library of linear algebra routines ii libncurses5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-3.1 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii octave3.0 1:3.0.1-6lenny1 GNU Octave language for numerical ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime octave-symbolic recommends no packages. octave-symbolic suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
