Unfortunately this package does not exist and the new octave-info
doesn't have the same dependencies.

But in general, I have not observed this kind of behaviour nor have seen
bugs reported related to this in the recent years/versions.  Some parts
of the resolver were changed a lot in those years, esp. in the run up to
0.6.

Have you experienced the same behaviour since, or did it only happen
during that time?


Cheers.
