It looks like package removing does not work.
This is what I read in 'help pkg':
"
`uninstall'
Uninstall named packages. For example,
pkg uninstall image
removes the `image' package from the system. If another
installed package depends on the `image' package an error
will be issued. The package can be uninstalled anyway by
using the `-nodeps' option.
".
This is what I observe in reality:
"

octave:1> pkg describe java

".
Why do I see the
"
warning: some of the packages you want to uninstall are not installed
"
message ? According to my understanding of the excerpt from 'help pkg'
the -nodeps option means unconditional removal of the package in
question.
Why do I see after 'uninstall'
"
Status:
Loaded
" ?
Can a non-existent package be loaded ?
I have sufficient file system privileges to manipulate files - my user ID
is the files owner user ID.
Thanks,
Sergei.
