Package: octave-parallel
Version: 3.1.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
Any attempt to use parcellfun leads to errors such as these:
warning: parcellfun: unhandled error in subprocess 1
warning: called from
parcellfun at line 291 column 9
[...] traceback on my own code elided
error: '__exit__' undefined near line 311 column 7
Searching the Interweb leads me to a discussion on the GNU bug site
which seems to indicate that the problem is known in the Octave
community and that the problem has been introduced by the Debian
packaging:
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39481
Thank you.

Could you please provide a script that triggers the bug, as I
asked in a previous message?
I cannot reproduce the bug. The simple example below works for me
with the versions currently in unstable (octave 4.0.3-1 and
octave-parallel 3.1.0-1):
octave:1> pkg load parallel
octave:2> parcellfun (2, @(x) x^2, {1, 2})
parcellfun: 2/2 jobs done
Does it work for you?
I uploaded version 3.1.0-2 of the parallel package, which contains a
variation of the simple test above as a unit test in file
debian/check.m. It seems that parcellfun produces the correct result
in all architectures (for instance, in mips [1]).
I am hereby downgrading the severity of this bug report to "normal".
This will prevent the autoremoval of the package from testing.
Please, feel free to upgrade the severity again, in case you can
provide a script that triggers the bug.
This bug has been stalled for over five years now. I does not seem to
occur in version 4.0.1-2 of the package, uploaded to unstable. I am
hereby closing this bug report.
@Eric: Feel free to reopen it if you can provide a reproducible way
to expose the bug.
Rafael Laboissière
