I have pushed Stefan's fix:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/a18e223224c5

Stefan, I have also updated your Octave clone:

http://inversethought.com/hg/octave-nkf/graph/157a3a79a9ba

Pulling from your clone should rebase your bookmarks accordingly, perhaps after running "hg evolve --all".

Marking as confirmed from the duplicate reports. That changeset does look like the cause of this regression.

The reason is changeset b26d6be1767a. By backing out

everything works as expected.

trying to install a package globally does not work anymore. I get

error: 'desc' undefined near line 29 column 41
error: evaluating argument list element number 4
error: called from:
error: /usr/local/octave/scripts/pkg/private/default_prefix.m at line 28, column 16
error: /usr/local/octave/scripts/pkg/pkg.m at line 327, column 30

I am using the current octave-dev tip.
