Hi,
After installing version 3.4 (Ubuntu 10.10) I noticed the following

1. The command backend was replaced by graphics_toolkit. There is a
comment in the "news" but this is not explicitly said.

2. Trying to install the signal I get the following required
dependencies:  signal needs optim >= 1.0.0 signal needs specfun >=
0.0.0
Installing those packages I get
pkg install -forge optim
warning: gen_doc_cache: unusable help text found in file 'test_d2_min_1'
warning: gen_doc_cache: unusable help text found in file 'test_d2_min_2'
warning: gen_doc_cache: unusable help text found in file 'test_d2_min_3'
warning: optimset: no defaults for function `__nonlin_residmin__'
pkg install -forge specfun
warning: function /home/juanpi/octave/specfun-1.0.9/erfcx.m shadows a
built-in function
warning: /home/juanpi/octave/specfun-1.0.9/laguerre.m: possible
Matlab-style short-circuit operator at line 30, column 11
warning: gen_doc_cache: unusable help text found in file 'test_sncndn'
warning: function /home/juanpi/octave/specfun-1.0.9/erfcx.m shadows a
built-in function

erfcx is listed as a new function in the "news", maybe it should be
reomved form hte package?

3. pkg install -forge optiminterp
