Follow-up Comment #8:

Adding the package maintainers.

The problem is that Octave 7 and newer are no longer graceful with deleting
non-existing files.


rmdir ("non-exising", "s");


throws an error instead of returning false.

https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/file/8c6486ffc1d9/etc/NEWS.7.md#l18

This happens here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/stk/ci/default/tree/stk_init.m#l580


rmdir (fullfile (mole_dir, 'matlab'), 's');


The "matlab" folder is not packaged:


rmdir (fullfile (mole_dir, 'matlab'), 's');


See
https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/stk/ci/default/tree/admin/build_tools/build_octpkg.m#l69


ignore_list = {'.hg', '.pc', 'admin', 'misc/mole/matlab', 'build',
'sandbox'};


Removing those lines in "stk_init.m" should do the trick with another small
bug fix package release.
