Maybe this is too much work, but I guess rebuild should work as follows: 1. Parse ~/.octave_packages file to get all folders set at installation time (i.e. get the right prefix for each package) 2. Rebuild accordingly 3. Replace ~/.octave_packages Or is this going against the whole idea of rebuild? -- M. Sc.
