Small typo fixed here (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/bb219f1d92db) and unpack now passes all tests.

"make check" now generates 3 FAILs for unpack, related to (AFAICS) expecting an error when in fact unpack.m just emits an (incomplete) warning

Only after next weekend I can look into this in more detail

I restored the ability to have URLs as inputs to unpack. See this cset (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/69aeef6736df).

unpack works if you remove the call to glob (l. 89) that was introduced in the mentioned changeset. urls are not understood by glob.

(just a hunch, I could be completely wrong)
Did you notice this only recently, and did it work with earlier dev versions?
If yes, chances are that it is connected to bug #46216

I see little else in the changeset you refer to that could give rise to this new bug.

unpack does not work with urls anymore:

error: unpack: file "http://mirrors.ctan.org/support/tex2rtf/rtfutils/rtftohtml/README.gz" not found
error: called from
unpack at line 91 column 7

The error is introduced in this changeset.
