[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #42352] pkg install fails if --disable-docs is given at build time

[Muhali]

Follow-up Comment #16, bug #42352 (project octave):

I just stumbled over this old bug. For me the following patch resolved the
issue.

   catch
     ## Something went wrong, delete tmpdirs.


Not sure whether this works in general.
