I do have also a problem installing odepkg under some circumstances (the attached log is from Debian/jessie, octave 4.2.1, with a non-default prefix configuration). I've observed a similar problem on MacOSX/homebrew/Octave4.2.1 .

In both cases, other packages can be installed w/o problem on the same setup, only odepkg fails.

I've also tested several other setups. Installing odepkg with
   pkg install -forge odepkg
works fine on
   Debian/Jessie Octave 4.0.x, 3.8.2, with and w/o non-default prefix.

   Octave 4.2.1 on Debian/Jessie Octave with default prefix /usr/local/bin.

Thanks for the bug report. I suspect you are installing the odepkg using the wrong syntax, or you have hit a bad sourceforge mirror. Installing the package works correctly for me. Please try downloading it using a different mirror to see if that helps, or download the tarball from http://httpredir.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/octave-odepkg/ if you are unable to get sourceforge to work for you at all. If you have the tar file downloaded you can use "pkg install FILENAME" in Octave to install it.

I have been trying install odepkg and it won't work. I keep getting an error message that reads "error: could not download file odepkg-0.8.5.tar.gz from url
 http://packages.octave.org/download/odepkg-0.8.5.tar.gz
error: called from
    pkg at line 400 column 13"

the link is fine so I have no clue why it wont work. Any help would be much appreciated.
