I have Octave 4.4.0 installed using MacPorts installation (*sudo port install
octave @4.4.0*)

When I run octave everything seems to be ok, but I need to install the
control package.

I tried using
*pkg install -forge image*

and got the following error message
*error: the following dependencies were unsatisfied: control needs octave >=
4.0.0*

However, when I use command version on octave I get
*ans = 4.x.x*

What now?

Two things:

1) I’ve also noticed the strange version string

2) Why are you trying to manually install a package? Under MacPorts

sudo port install octave-image

will install not just the image package, but all other octave packages it depends on, and then load them into octave for you.
