g-octave depends on /usr/bin/paludis which in recent versions of paludis has been replaced with /usr/bin/cave (and different functionality). The old /usr/bin/paludis is no longer built (tested on paludis-0.60.4) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Switch to a recent paludis 2. Install g-octave 3. Configure g-octave to use paludis 4. Attempt to use g-octave (even running it with no parameters)
Created attachment 274593 [details, diff] g-octave patch to add cave as a separate package manager I've managed to succesfully use g-octave with this patch applied with paludis-0.60.4. Tried installing and uninstalling octave packages and it worked as intended.

I'll reimplement paludis support for g-octave using just cave. And I'm rewriting some g-octave bits in long term. A new release should arise as soon as I get the time :) Thanks!
