[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #36453] pkg uninstall -global 'something uninstalled' uninstalls everything (global)

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #36453 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed

Follow-up Comment #1:

Actually the packages are not uninstalled, the global_list file is just
deleted.  As a workaround, running


pkg rebuild -global


should give you back your list of installed packages.

In testing this I have discovered some other odd related behaviors.  Does
anyone know why a global uninstall iterates first through the union of local
and global packages, then local packages only?
