Details:
Running 'pkg install -forge' on any package, when the current directory is not
writeable by the user, raises an unexpected error
>> pkg install -forge generate_html
error: urlwrite: unable to open file
error: called from
pkg at line 439 column 25
This is presumably because the code to download a package from Octave Forge is
trying to write to the current directory.
Surprisingly, 'pkg install https://...' does work, it seems to be able to
download the URL to a file in a temporary directory instead of the current
directory.
