error: package auto is not installed
error: execution exception in /usr/share/octave/4.2.0/m/startup/octaverc

although this problem do not affect the normal usage.

Since autoload is no longer supported in Octave 4.2 ,
in file /usr/share/octave/4.2.0/m/startup/octaverc the line

pkg ("load", "auto");

should be removed or changed ?

The octave is installed from debian experimental (rc-buggy) :
ii  liboctave4:amd64  4.2.0-1  amd64
ii  octave            4.2.0-1  amd64
ii  octave-common     4.2.0-1  all
