[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #49642] Traceback from errors in private functions is incomplete

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #49642 (project octave):

I hit it with installing an OF package from after your cset 
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/093b49ac544e
("Capitalize ....")

If you simply hg update to -say- 4a31bd79d7e8 ("maint: Correct spacing...")
and then try to install octclip:

pkg install -forge -verbose octclip

you'll see it happening right away.
But of course the next issue is that the error is in a try-catch so
debug_on_error(1) actually gets triggered in the catch clause when lasterr is
rethrown. (I did use debug_on_error(1) initially.)

And that may be a clue - it could be that the try-catch hides errors happening
inside the try clause and as a consequence obfuscates the backtrace.
