There are 3 solutions to fix this permanently:
1.
Make the qhull package provide a dynamic library and let octave-forge depend on it.
2. Patch octave-forge in such a way that it stops looking for qhull.
3. Add a 'Conflicts: qhull' entry into the octave-forge package.
I think 1 would be the nicest, followed by 2. 3 is only as last resort.
But as this package (as of today) hasn't got any maintainer any more, i am CCing fink-devel. So maybe there is somebody who steps up to fix it. I am also CCing Stefan Langermann, who is the maintainer of qhull.
If i don't hear anything in the next days i will go for solution 3.

If I do a locate of qhull, I get (part of the list):
/sw/include/qhull /sw/include/qhull/geom.h /sw/include/qhull/io.h /sw/include/qhull/mem.h /sw/include/qhull/merge.h /sw/include/qhull/poly.h /sw/include/qhull/qhull.h /sw/include/qhull/qhull_a.h /sw/include/qhull/qset.h /sw/include/qhull/stat.h /sw/include/qhull/user.h /sw/lib/libqhull.a
It seems that the path to /sw/lib/libqhull.a is not set. If this is the case, it seems there is a missing dependency to the qhull package.
