Package: octave
Version: 3.6.1-4
Severity: normal
The following sequence results in octave being uninstallable due to postinst
failure. Assume no octave packages installed initially:
# apt-get install octave
# apt-get purge octave
# apt-get install octave
Setting up octave (3.6.1-4) ...
error: could not find the file or path /usr/share/octave/packages

Errors were encountered while processing:
octave
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
The directory is owned by octave-common but octave removes it when purged.
Maybe the entire octave.postrm should become octave-common.postrm?
