running Octave 4.2.0 - 64bit, on Windows 7, installed using zip package.
reference recent discussion on help list.
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/pkg-install-forge-issues-tp4681058.html
summary:
in version 4.2.0 'pkg update' produces:
repeats for all installed packages.
i attempted the same in v4.0.3 and got the same error message above for both 'pkg install -forge' and 'pkg update'.
checking octave's ability to pull from a url:
checking or curl, from a command line:
curl -v "http://www.gnu.org"
pulls the website text without problem
curl -v "https://www.gnu.org" produces:
Mike's hypothesis about the problem from that help thread:
"libcurl probably needs to be told where to find a CA certificate store, and the octave.bat or other start up scripts probably need to set that up.
The appropriate environment variable is CURL_CA_BUNDLE, which should point to a single file containing a set of CA certificates in PEM format. I don't see any reference to that variable in mxe-octave, and when libcurl is cross-compiled there is no default path built in to the library."
