Details:

running pkg rebuild, then pkg update on a fresh Octave 4.2.1 install (64bit,
zip installer, windows 7) terminates early with the following:


./configure: line 2903: which: command not found
./configure: line 2909: C:/Octave/OCTAVE~1.1/bin/octave-4.2.1.exe-cli: No such
file or directory
couldn't delete directory
C:\Octave\OCTAVE~1.1\share\octave\packages\sparsersb-1.0.2: Directory not
empty
error: called from
    uninstall at line 120 column 11
    install at line 207 column 9
    pkg at line 394 column 9
    pkg at line 552 column 11


a pkg list before pkg update showed pkg 1.0.2 installed.  pkg list after this
failed update still shows sparsersb 1.0.2, but no \packages\sparsersb-1.0.x
folder exists.  another pkg rebuild shows no sparsersb package installed. 

Because pkg moves through the list alphabetically, no further packages were
updated (stk at 2.3.4, video at 1.2.3, etc.) 

if I run a separate pkg install -forge sparsesb, I get the same .configure
messages:

>> pkg install -forge sparsersb
./configure: line 2903: which: command not found
./configure: line 2909: C:/Octave/OCTAVE~1.1/bin/octave-4.2.1.exe-cli: No such
file
 or directory


but the install completes without error.  a subsequent pkg update   goes
through the rest of the packages without error.
