[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57122] pkg uninstall incorrectly errors out on unrelated dependencies

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #57122 (project octave):

Thx for reviewing.

tbdeleted_packages = "list" of packages to be deleted, analogous for
remaining_packages = list of packages to be kept installed.

"in_or_un" is a logical variable standing for *in*stalling or *un*installing a
package. 
Inside get_unsatisfied_deps.m the (input) variable "installed_pkgs_lst" could
be renamed to just "packages_list" (5 occurrences in total IIRC) as depending
on the value of in_or_un the list comprises packages to be kept or to be
deleted.

If you can come up with better mnemonic variable names and a better commit
message, good, I'm no native English speaker :-)

BTW I tested installing & uninstalling with and without dependencies and
inverse dependencies on Linux and Windows, I saw no regressions.
Too bad that it's apparently hard to come up with BIST tests for pkg.m
