The problem is that the last released version of the dicom package has
a hardcoded dependency on gdcm version 2.0 in specific places. This
has caused Octave bugs #44430 [1], #44624 [2], and #49896 [3] but they
have already been fixed in the dicom repository.

But the fixes also made the package a bit more complicated (uses
autoconf and CMake) and it currently has no maintainer and so there
has not been a release with the fix.  You can do it yourself with:

    hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/dicom
    cd dicom
    make install

However, even with the fix it may error.  There are certain CMake
versions where it will still fail (CMake bug #15250 [4]).  This
impacts users in Debian Jessie (current Debian stable) (Debian bug
#768877 [5]).  You may be affected by this bug in CMake if you have
libgdcm2-dev installed and the following still happens:

    $ cmake --find-package -DNAME=GDCM -DLANGUAGE=CXX
-DCOMPILER_ID=GNU -DMODE=COMPILE
    GDCM not found.
    CMake Error: Problem processing arguments. Aborting.
