[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58225] Installing package fails when package was already installed globally

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #58225 (project octave):

There might be another - possibly unrelated - issue: 
The local package store is in %USERPROFILE%\octave. It is possible to install
several different versions of Octave (very easy on Windows). All of these
versions share the same local package store.
But .oct files are usually not binary compatible between versions.
So updating a local package (that includes binaries) in one version of Octave
breaks it for the other version.

Maybe the local package store should also include the Octave version in the
path (at least the major version).

Wasn't there a bug report about moving the local package store to
%LOCALAPPDATA% or something? Does anyone remember which bug that was?
Or should I open a new bug report for this?
