URL: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61067> Summary: Error message suggestion from pkg could be better, or eliminated Project: GNU Octave Submitted by: None Submitted on: Fri 20 Aug 2021 09:57:04 PM UTC Category: Octave Function Severity: 3 - Normal Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Unexpected Error or Warning Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Release: dev Discussion Lock: Any Operating System: GNU/Linux _______________________________________________________ Details: I made a mistake in naming a Forge package to install. It should have been communications (plural) but I typed the singular. But the alternative named in the error message from pkg was unhelpful in this case ("generate_html"). pkg install -forge communication error: get_forge_pkg: package not found: "communication". Maybe you meant "generate_html?" error: called from get_forge_pkg at line 90 column 5 get_forge_download at line 32 column 14 pkg at line 502 column 31 The code for this behavior is in the end of the file scripts/pkg/private/get_forge_pkg.m. It looks like the line "t = strsplit (html)" gives the wrong value to t{1}, so the distance function is led astray. Could the suggestion be disabled perhaps? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61067> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
