[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41215] Request for a "pkg test" feature

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #21, bug #41215 (project octave):

I couldn't help looking at unloading after testing :-)
And there I ran into another pkg.m bug: if you unload some dependency of a
package (depender), and then again load the depender, the dependency isn't
reloaded. I need to investigate more, but to fix this one challenging issue
will be inserting the dependency at the right place in the path (= after the
depender). Interdependencies and shared dependencies will make this an
interesting job.

However for the issue at hand (pkg test) my proposed strategy + some
workaround(s) will probably do the job, some other small pkg.m glitches might
have to be smoothed out as well.

All in all pkg.m isn't so bad at all IMO, but there were a few wrinkles left
behind that I'm tripping over now :-)

New cset is attached, with a minor fix (an outdated part of an error message
that I overlooked).
