** Description changed: - Hi there, + [Impact] Octave-specfun shadows built-in and core library functions, which causes at least a several second hangup at startup (making especially heavy octave use in scripts frustrating) and an ominous warning. + + warning: function /usr/share/octave/packages/specfun-1.1.0/erfcinv.m shadows a built-in function + warning: function /usr/share/octave/packages/specfun-1.1.0/ellipke.m shadows a core library function + warning: function /usr/share/octave/packages/specfun-1.1.0/expint.m shadows a core library function + warning: function /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/packages/specfun-1.1.0/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-api-v49+/ellipj.oct shadows a built-in function Reportedly Debian Jessi's package version 1.1.0-2 does not suffer from this problem, but it's unusable as such on Ubuntu due to dependency issues.
