This has been fixed as of geometry 2.0.0 (yet unreleased)
Please close the bug.

Thanks for your comments, Carnë.  I did not realize that geometry needs the old inputParser available in general.  If the geometry package is not ported to the new inputParser of Octave 4.0, then we will have to remove it from Debian, in the future.

The usage of inputParser on the geometry package is not compatible with inputParser in octave 4.0.0 if anything the geometry package is also dependent on octave < 4.0.0

Fixing this would also means that it won't work with older Octave versions. It would also means that if an old general package is loaded it would act weird.

Ideally, it would check at run-time the inputParser implementation.

Adding the package maintainer to CC since it's his decision to make.

It seems that geometry depends on general only for the inputParser function.  Since Octave 4.0.0 includes this function, I think the dependency can be dropped now.
