Details:

With Octave 6, some BISTs in so_explore_descent.m, so_init_params.m, and
so_replay_descent.m the package parallel is unloaded, in order to ensure that
the calls to functions like `fload' are unvailable. However, the parallel
package is declared as a dependency of the level-set package. The test will
then fail, but not in the expected way. For instance, the BIST in
so_explore_descent.m is expected to fail with:


'fload' is not available
-verbatim

but it fails instead with:


pkg: the following loaded package(s):
    - level-set
depend on the one(s) you want to unload.
Either unload any depender package(s), or use the '-nodeps' flag.
Note: the '-nodeps' flag may affect functionality of these packages.


The patch attached to this bug report fixes the problem.
