Bug Description
[Impact]
Octave-specfun shadows built-in and core library functions, which causes at least a several second hangup at startup (making especially heavy octave use in scripts frustrating) and an ominous warning.
warning: function /usr/share/
warning: function /usr/share/
warning: function /usr/share/
warning: function /usr/lib/
Reportedly Debian Jessi's package version 1.1.0-2 does not suffer from this problem, but it's unusable as such on Ubuntu due to dependency issues.
ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04
Package: octave-specfun 1.1.0-1build1
Uname: Linux 3.16.0-38-generic
Architecture: amd64
CurrentDesktop: Unity
Date: Mon Jun 1 21:00:00 2014SourcePackage: octave-specfun
UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
[Test Case]
Make sure no warnings appear at startup.
[Regression Potential]
Negligible, no reverse dependencies and the functions that were moved to core are not built and removed from the install dir.
[Other Info]
Uploaded a full backport since the only code change was to fix this bug and the other changes were small, It should also make any possible maintenance in the LTS easier.
