Bug#1057589: octave-ncarray: FTBFS: fatal: caught signal Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...

[Rafael Laboissière]

Control: tags -1 + upstream confirmed
Control: forwarded -1 https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?64999
Control: reassign -1 octave-netcdf
Control: merge -1 1057590

Thanks for the bug report.

I verified with gdb and I think that this bug is very certainly caused by
the octave-netcdf package, on which octave-ncarray depends. I am hereby
merging the present bug report with Bug#1057590

Best,

Rafael Laboissière
