Package: octave-biosig
Version: 3.9.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
    
    I recently upgraded to trixie, and tried reinstalling octave-biosig with 
        apt-get install octave-biosig 
   does run and the package is installed, however
   when starting Octave, the package is not shown and can not be loaded with 
        pkg list 
        pkg load biosig     

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

	apt-file list octave-biosig 
     shows the files are installed in 		
	octave-biosig: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/octave/site/oct/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/biosig/mexSSAVE.mex
	...
	octave-biosig: /usr/share/octave/site/m/biosig/...
        ... 
   * What was the outcome of this action?

     and when adding these directories, octave-biosig is usable. 

     also when using the method from upstream, installing from source  	
         pkg install "https://sourceforge.net/projects/biosig/files/Biosig%20for%20Octave/biosig4octave-3.9.0.src.tar.gz" 
     the octave-biosig package is installed (in my home directory) and usable. 

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
    
     pkg list 
        should list biosig
     pkg load biosig 
	should provide the functions in each path, e.g. 
     which sload 
     which mexSLOAD 
         should show the location of these functions.
