OK, let's back up a bit, and see why kpsexpand is needed in the first
place.
Graphics in Octave use gnuplot. The legend function from Octave Forge
sends a "save FILE" command to gnuplot so that it can extract some
information about gnuplot's current state. If you do the following
mv /usr/bin/

This is what the OP said:

As you noted, for tetex to not be in the PATH, it needs to not be
installed.

Hm, actually we wouldn't want to lose such a knowledgeable user. We need users

Why does package octave-forge depend on tetex-bin? As far as I can

have cygwin-TeX installed, but this octave-forge dependency pulls in the
