[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59164] [octave forge] (stk) install error about rmdir

[Arun Giridhar]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #59164 (project octave):

I too am now getting this error on current dev source of Octave (Octave 8, hg
id b15e026c5a31.


octave:4> pkg install -forge stk
error: rmdir: operation failed: No such file or directory
error: called from
    stk_init>stk_init__config_mole at line 296 column 5
    stk_init at line 57 column 9
    post_install at line 37 column 5
    install>finish_installation at line 820 column 7
    install at line 240 column 7
    pkg at line 603 column 9


Not sure what the error source is yet. My available compilers are gcc 11.1 and
clang 13.0 on Linux.

I looked at the source for stk_init.m here:
https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/stk/ci/default/tree/stk_init.m

It is even more confusing because line 296 in that file is completely blank,
and it is not even inside the stk_init__config_mole subfunction!

I take it there was some change to the package source that is not pushed to a
release version?

I see multiple occurrences of rmpath and rmdir in that function, but so far I
cannot see which one of them is triggering the error I see.
