Details:
scripts/pkg/private/install.m, subfunction copy_files, line 507:
&& ! strcmp (fullfile (desc.dir, getarch ()), octfiledir))
compares strings to check if directories are identical, which may (did for me)
fail for symlinks. Should use the shells '-ef' comparison or the 'realpath'
command, don't know which is better.
