See also bug #55406, which this bug is basically a duplicate of (I wasn't paying attention when this was reported).

See bug #55401, which quotes the miscellaneous package as a use case for the need for this missing feature.

I just notices that the  _have_feature_ ("EXEEXT") used to fixed the issue doesnt actually do what was intended - of returning the extension

It will need to change to _octave_config_info_ ("EXEEXT") at least until some other method becomes available

Time to make a new release of the miscellaneous package?

That had already been changed in the repo back in 2017 to use _have_feature_ instead of octave_config_info

I guess its been quite a while since its had a release

The function units in the miscellaneous package fails against Octave 5.1.0:


octave:1> pkg load miscellaneous
octave:2> test units
***** assert (units ("in", "mm"), 25.4)
!!!!! test failed
'octave_config_info' undefined near line 110 column 62


The patch attached to this bug report fixes the problem.
