With this package installed, I get the following error every time I run apt:
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
octave-forge: Depends: X11 but it is not installable. For Fink users, this often means that you have attempted to install a package from the binary distribution which depends on a "Restrictive" package.
I tried removing x11 from the list of dependencies in the .info file, but that had no effect.
Did you rebuild octave-forge after changing the .info file? Apt-get doesn't read .info files, it only knows about dependencies from the compiled .deb package. What version of X11 do you have installed? I suppose you have one, otherwise you couldn't have built octave-forge in the first place.
Anyway, this dependency on "X11" with a capital X is weird.
Building octave-forge crashes for me because of a bad interaction with lilypond (maintainer CCed): Lilypond installs a texinfo.tex file that gets substituted for the real thing. This breaks texinfo which is used for building octave-forge. I had to move /sw/share/texmf-local/tex/lilypond/texinfo.tex out of the way before I could build octave-forge:
