[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57083] pkg list does not indicate loaded global packages

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #57083 (project octave):

I think you might need to try some sort of bisection.  The code that
determines whether a package is loaded is in
scripts/pkg/private/installed_packages.m.


  ## Now check if the package is loaded.
  ## FIXME: Couldn't dir_in_loadpath() be used here?
  tmppath = strrep (path (), '\', '/');
  for i = 1:numel (installed_pkgs_lst)
    if (strfind (tmppath, strrep (installed_pkgs_lst{i}.dir, '\', '/')))
      installed_pkgs_lst{i}.loaded = true;
    else
      installed_pkgs_lst{i}.loaded = false;
    endif
  endfor
  for i = 1:numel (local_packages)
    if (strfind (tmppath, strrep (local_packages{i}.dir, '\', '/')))
      local_packages{i}.loaded = true;
    else
      local_packages{i}.loaded = false;
    endif
  endfor
  for i = 1:numel (global_packages)
    if (strfind (tmppath, strrep (global_packages{i}.dir, '\', '/')))
      global_packages{i}.loaded = true;
    else
      global_packages{i}.loaded = false;
    endif
  endfor


If I had to guess, the problem is that something has changed in the way paths
are represented on Windows.  Either this is in path() or in the calculation of
local_packages and global_packages variables.

The most likely suspect is this change on Oct. 9th
