[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53984] pkg update - Unable to continue updating when a package error is found

[Renato]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #53984 (project octave):

1) Run the pkg update;

2) Make an array with all dependencies;

3) Make a "simulated installation" in alphabetical order;
  3.1) If an error is found, update the array adding a blacklist flag on
dependencies;
  3.2) Also mark this broke package as blacklisted;

4) When finish the loop on step 3.x, we will have an array with all packages
blacklisted.

5) Now, run the definitive installation, skipping all packages blacklisted.

This will take too much time, so, just skip the broke package and update the
next one. 

"pkg update" must make it´s job, that is: UPDATE!
If a package is broke, the package maintainer must fix it, instead the "pkg
update" deny update the next packages.
