Oh, really ? What a long way to say "buggy".
And what about people who build Octave and packages from source ?
And what about GPL requiring both the source and build instructions from that
source to be available ?
AFAIR, GPL explicitly forbids obscuring ways of building from source.
...
Was the OP trying to install packages globally ?
I judge from '/usr/local' in:
"
couldn't create installation directory
/usr/share/octave/packages/combinatorics-1.0.9 : Permission denied
error: called from `pkg>copy_files' in file
/usr/share/octave/3.6.1/m/pkg/pkg.m near line 1569, column 7
error: called from:
error: /usr/share/octave/3.6.1/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 876, column 5
error: /usr/share/octave/3.6.1/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 383, column 9
".

Sergei.
