For example, using koji, the x86_64 build appears to complete correctly: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1634667 but the i686 build on koji has similar install failures to those mentioned above (and those that I obtained previously): http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1634671 So there may be some i686-specific issues with building Octave packages as it has not previously been built with the specific i686 architecture until now. Any ideas on how to address this? Alex -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
