This is a duplicate of bug #61660.

A fix has been pushed to the repository of the signal package. But no new release has been made since then.

For a possible solution in the meantime. See e.g.:

Hello,

When trying to install the signal package using


pkg install "https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/octave/Octave%20Forge%20Packages/Individual%20Package%20Releases/signal-1.4.1.tar.gz" as listed on the website, it is erroring out on

error: parse error near line 123 of file /home/lidxv0n/.var/app/org.octave.Octave/data/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

    install>generate_lookfor_cache at line 840 column 5
    install at line 241 column 7

Any advice?

thank you,
David Alexander
