Follow-up Comment #2, bug #58225 (project octave): I once entered a (invalid) bug report where it turned out that locally installed packages in a local octave_packages file "shadow" global ones; I now remember I would add a cset to document this. (But ATM I can't find the bug report in Savannah's "my items".) Anyway, based on this behavior it might be enough to just patch pkg.m to (1) warn that a global installed package will be shadowed by a newly to-be-installed package with the same name, and (2) avoid the "permission denied" error in such cases. If you guys want I can look into it. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?58225> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
