I had tried pkg rebuild
After sending out the e-mail I figured out the solution to my problem
(partially):
I had installed packages globally. This means I ran octave as root
via
sudo. Thus, I could only uninstall them by running octave the same
way. I wish the error message had been more clear about the reason
for
not uninstalling...
My second issue still remains:
I have multiple versions of packages installed and would like to
remove obsolete ones without touching the current. I see no mechanism
to do this, e.g.:
pkg uninstall symbolic 0.0.3
or something similar.
How this was supposed to work was that you just install the new
version
and the old version will be removed when the new version is installed.
Logically, that is what I would have expected as well. However, I've
ended up with a collection of multiple installed versions for most
packages. That is why I manually removed everything from all
previous octave-forge installs before installing the current version.
