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.
