Public bug reported:
In the Ubuntu Software Center, the package matlab-support is listed as "MATLAB
- Scientific computing environment".
This name implies that the package installs matlab itself.
However, only when you read the extended description of the package will
one discover the text "This package does not provide MATLAB. Instead, it
configures an existing MATLAB installation to integrate more comfortably
in a Debian installation."
This would be a minor inconvenience of not for bug 1025648, which makes it
virtually impossible to cancel installation without somehow obtaining a copy of
matlab.
Bug 1025648 needs to be fixed, but in the meantime maybe it's a good idea to
rename this package to, for instance, "Support files for Matlab".
