    _______________________________________________________

Details:

If packages whose names contain hyphens are attempted to be installed with
pkg, the regular expression in fix_depends.m yields multiple matches, causing
an error since strcmp is called with two cell-arrays instead of with a string
and a cell-array.

The regular expression is easily fixed, a changeset will be attached as soon
as I have the bug number.
