[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #64447] Loads of load_path warnings when Octave install path contains umlaut

[INVALID.NOREPLY]

Follow-up Comment #12, bug #64447 (project octave):


[comment #10 comment #10:]
> Did you follow the instructions from the Wiki page to which I referred in
comment #5? In case you did, *core* Octave should be working. And if you don't
see those `load_path` warnings on any command, the fix is probably doing what
it was meant to do.

You're right. Those warnings during startup are gone. For comparison, I also
tested the previous artifact
https://github.com/gnu-octave/octave/actions/runs/5694299972 and the warnings
appeared again. So that worked. However, since I first noticed them in the
context of loading packages, I tested your version again for installing a
package. I switched to the "struct" package because it seems to be smaller.
With your additional pacman command I was able to install the package for the
case of no umlaut being in the home directory. However, I do still get an
error when there is an umlaut:

pkg install -forge struct

Looks like it would still not be possible to install packages in this case
(?).
