Package: octave Version: 3.6.2-2 Severity: important Hi,
octave depends on dpkg-dev in order to use dpkg-architecture at runtime. This is a bad idea. The path that is being computed in this way needs to be built into the binary. The current approach will fail in a multiarch installation of octave: dpkg-architecture will report information about the primary architecture, but octave may be installed from another architecture and will be using a wrong path ... And the dpkg-dev dependency needs to be dropped. Also dpkg-architecture prints a warning if gcc is not installed ...
