All is fine for me after disabling [1] the mentioned tests. Since UTF-8 is one one case, I will keep the octave bindings in the 5.13.0 packaging. One more small issue, which I reported some time ago to the Debian package [2]: The pkgconfig file specifies the need to link to libshp: $ pkg-config --libs plplotd -lplplotd -lltdl -lm -lshp -lcsirocsa -lcsironn -lqhull -lqsastime but in fact, -lshp is not needed. It would be nice if this linker flag could be removed here. (and, just to be sure: at that time, the library was called "libplotlibd", while now it is "libplotlib" without the "d", right?)
