Bug#903209: scilab: ATOMS system is broken in Scilab 6 on buster

[Nrbrtx]

Package: scilab
Version: 6.0.0-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have installed Scilab 6 package as usual with
    apt-get update
    apt-get install scilab

Then I started Scilab from terminal and tried to use its ATOMS system with

    atomsShow('coselica')

After launching this command Scilab shows error in its console:

--> atomsShow('coselica')
Scanning repository http://atoms.scilab.org/6.0 ... Done

/usr/share/scilab/modules/atoms/macros/atoms_internals/atomsDESCRIPTIONget.sci
line 284 )
at line    31 of function atomsIsPackage      (
/usr/share/scilab/modules/atoms/macros/atoms_internals/atomsIsPackage.sci

at line    43 of function atomsShow           (
/usr/share/scilab/modules/atoms/macros/atomsShow.sci line 59 )

atomsDESCRIPTIONget: save
('/home/debian/.Scilab/scilab-6.0.0/.atoms/packages') has failed.

and in control terminal

This behavior is not expected.
Please fix Scilab package dependencies.
