[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59029] Failed pkg installations are still listed by "ver"

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #59029 (project octave):

        Operating System:       Microsoft Windows => Any                    
                 Summary:     pkg install sockets => Failed pkg installations
are still listed by "ver"

    _______________________________________________________

Follow-up Comment #1:

The latest released version of the sockets package is no longer compatible
with Octave 6, see bug #57415.

Having said that, Octave for Windows already contains some pre-compiled Octave
Forge packages. Those include a modified version of the sockets package. The
modifications are specifically to allow it to compile with newer Octave
versions.

To get a working version of that package, install Octave again and just load
the pre-compiled package with "pkg load sockets" instead of trying to install
the last released version.
If you didn't use the installer, make sure to run the "post-install.bat"
located in the folder where you extracted Octave.

It would probably be better if packages wouldn't be listed if their
installation failed.
