Package: octave-parallel Version: 3.1.0-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, Any attempt to use parcellfun leads to errors such as these: warning: parcellfun: unhandled error in subprocess 1 warning: called from parcellfun at line 291 column 9 [...] traceback on my own code elided error: '__exit__' undefined near line 311 column 7 Searching the Interweb leads me to a discussion on the GNU bug site which seems to indicate that the problem is known in the Octave community and that the problem has been introduced by the Debian packaging: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39481 Thank you. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.6.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages octave-parallel depends on: ii libc6 2.23-1 ii libgcc1 1:6.1.1-9 ii libgnutls30 3.4.14-1 ii liboctave3v5 4.0.3-1 ii libstdc++6 6.1.1-9 ii octave 4.0.3-1 ii octave-struct 1.0.13-1 octave-parallel recommends no packages. octave-parallel suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
