This is the same underlying problem as bug #41644. Closing as a duplicate.

Starting up Octave-4.1.0+:


GNU Octave, version 4.1.0+
:
<snip>
:
error: 'desc' undefined near line 29 column 41
error: evaluating argument list element number 4
error: called from:
error:   D:\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+\share\octave\4.1.0+\m\pkg\private\default_prefix.m at line 28, column 16
error:   D:\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+\share\octave\4.1.0+\m\pkg\pkg.m at line 283, column 24
error:   D:\Octave\Octave-4.1.0+\share\octave\4.1.0+\m\startup/octaverc at line 20, column 1
>>


...and indeed, in share/.../pkg/private/default_prefix.m, the variable desc is uninitialized. I do not see any argument that conveys a value for it.
