Bug#414001: octave2.9: error does not behave as the help says

2007-03-08 Thread Francesco Potorti`
For some reason I had octave2.1 as a default rather than octave2.9 as I
used to.  Sorry for the bogus report.  Please close the bug.

I cannot reproduce the error in my sid chroot with octave2.9_2.9.9-8etch1:

$ dpkg -l octave2.9

$ octave -q
octave2.9:1> error ("%d", 7)
error: 7
octave2.9:1> which error
error is a built-in function

We need more information on this problem, in particular a way to surely
reproduce the bug.

Bug#414001: octave2.9: error does not behave as the help says

2007-03-08 Thread Francesco Potorti`
Package: octave2.9
Version: 2.9.9-8etch1
Severity: normal

 -- Built-in Function:  error (TEMPLATE, ...)
 The `error' function formats the optional arguments under the
 control of the template string TEMPLATE using the same rules as
 the `printf' family of functions (*note Formatted Output::).  The
 resulting message is prefixed by the string `error: ' and printed
 on the `stderr' stream.

however:

octave:39> error("%d", 7)
error: 7
error: in error

>>> error ("%d", 7)
