Details:


>> pkg 'local_list'
/home/philip/.octave_packages
>> pkg 'local_list' ~/some_new_file
>> pkg 'local_list'

The culprit is in the case block after L.559 where tilde expansion seems to
have been forgotten. As a consequence on L.574 canonicalize-file-name returns
empty.
A patch will be uploaded once I have a bug number.
