Hello,

I am using the GNU Octave 7.1 and when tried to install signal pkg directly from octave forge I received this error message.

>> pkg install -forge signal


error: parse error near line 123 of file /home/luiz/.local/share/octave/api-v57/packages/signal-1.4.1/buffer.m

  off: invalid use of symbol as both variable and command

>>>             off --;

               ^
error: called from
    doc_cache_create>create_cache at line 116 column 20
    gen_doc_cache_in_dir>@<anonymous> at line 150 column 16
    doc_cache_create>gen_doc_cache_in_dir at line 151 column 9
    doc_cache_create at line 62 column 12
    install>generate_lookfor_cache at line 840 column 5
    install at line 241 column 7
    pkg at line 603 column 9

It is important to notice that I have installed other packages with the same method without issues.

After the error every command comes with a warning. For example:

>> x=1:3

warning: load_path: /home/luiz/.local/share/octave/api-v57/packages/signal-1.4.1: No such file or directory
warning: load-path: update failed for '/home/luiz/.local/share/octave/api-v57/packages/signal-1.4.1', removing from path
x =

   1   2   3

This warning is removed only when the Octave is restarted.
