[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58082] [MXE Octave] installer does not run pkg rebuild automatically on install

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #58082 (project octave):

AFAIR I didn't hit this issue when I installed Octave-5.2.0 using that same
installer downloaded from the ftp site, back in mid-February.

Octave-5.2.0 for Windows has been downloaded and used quite a bit already, as
judged by the "Release" tag contents in many bug reports since then. Til now
we hadn't seen this issue being reported so although I don't doubt your
observations I'm inclined to suspect it's rather some local issue.

(Wild guess) could there be an Octave-6.0.0 somewhere in your path that fools
the installer?
Did you see a message somewhere along the lines of "running post-install
tasks"?
It's the very last line in post-install.bat where the "pkg rebuild"  command
is issued in case of Octave < 6.
