Hi,

Arch has octave-2.1.73 in extra.

The current stable version of octave is 3.0.0 but it is not backwards compatible with the 2.1.x series.

The gcc-4.2.3 migration has broken octave due to a versioned dependency on gcc-fortran. Also, the PKGBUILD has no license or md5sum entries.

Gcc-libs 4.2.3-3 has been fixed to provide versioned provides for gcc-fortran and gcc-objc.
