[Rik]

Update of bug #47102 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Fixed                  
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #2:

I'm sure the HTML will only change again in the future.  I modified the code
to use the fixed version of the package list at list_packages.php, which will
not change.

I also added a much better, although still crude, similarity matching
algorithm in case the user has made a typo.  The whole changeset is at
http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/101489515a70.

For bug #39479, I can change Octave quickly if someone on the Octave-Forge
site can create a new fixed web page with package names and versions.  The web
site shouldn't be list_packages.php because that is already fixed for a
different usage.
