Details:

When running the command: pkg list -forge, it gives a network error. I checked
the syslog file and it showed several warning messages from AppArmor.

I got the same error on Ubuntu 19.04 after installing Octave from a snap
package. The problem was that Apparmor was blocking requests to network
resources. The problem was corrected by editing the Octave Apparmor profile
file. The following steps fixed the problem:

1. Add following rules to the file:
/var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.octave.octave. The rules should be added
to the bottom of the file, just before the closing parenthesis
Add following rules:
owner @{HOME}/.bash_logout r,
owner @{HOME}/.xinputrc r,
owner @{HOME}/.pam_environment r,
owner @{HOME}/.bashrc r,
owner @{HOME}/.bash_history r,
owner @{HOME}/.profile r,
owner @{HOME}/.cache/mesa_shader_cache/index rw,
owner @{HOME}/.sudo_as_admin_successful r,

/usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* r,
/etc/ssl/certs/ r,
/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf r,
/etc/hosts r,
/etc/host.conf r,
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt r,
network inet stream,
network inet6 dgram,
network inet dgram,

2. Reload the Octave Apparmor profile using the command: sudo apparmor_parser
-r /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.octave.octave

3. Restart Octave

4. Run the command pkg list -forge
