I tried to compile packages not distributed in the flac, and logically
octave did not see development headers of the libraries required. The
flatpack distribution falls short due to this IMO important issue.

I have definitely installed packages using
pkg install -forge package_name
and I presumed that these came from octave forge. Are you telling me that such files come from the flatpak distribution? I have also used flatpak update. if I run pkg list now I get
>> pkg list
