[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#824874: octave: Installation fails due to linking against old version of libgl2ps (.so.0 vs. so.1)

[Phil Miller]

Package: octave
Version: 4.0.2-1+b2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

During the upgrade:

Setting up octave (4.0.2-1+b2) ...
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/4.0.2/exec/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/octave-gui:
error while loading shared libraries: libgl2ps.so.0: cannot open shared object
file: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package octave (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 127

This may actually be a bug in the latest upload of libgl2ps0, in that the .so
number bumped from 0 to 1 between 1.3.8-1.3 (in testing) and 1.3.8-2 (in
unstable)
