    _______________________________________________________

Details:

This change to the pkg function has broken the following syntax:


>> s = pkg ("list", "signal");


the cell array returned contains all installed packages instead of just the
one requested.

Resulted in a test failure in ver.m, so found via make check.

This is due to the way the pkg/private/installed_packages.m function expects
to be called with different nargout unfortunately.
