[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59821] "pkg update" on windows unexpectedly installs packages to local

[Nicholas Jankowski]

Follow-up Comment #24, bug #59821 (project octave):

'If Octave is running with' would be fine.  I just realized the change is
about Octave running its own user-access-level check.  The main ida was to
differentiate from whether or not the user actually has write access to the
global packages. On windows at least, it's not uncommon for a user-level
Octave instance to still be able to write to / install/update the global
packages, especially since the zip/7z installer packages enable installation
entirely in user-space.

I'm obviously used to speaking from Windows-centric location. happy to use
non-platform specific wording where appropriate.
