"optim needs miscellaneous >= 1.0.10" problem

[Sergei Steshenko]

Hello,

in my current attempt to build all the packages I've encountered the following 
problem:

"
error: the following dependencies where unsatisfied:
   optim needs miscellaneous >= 1.0.10
".

Looking at http://octave.sourceforge.net/miscellaneous/index.html I see:

"
miscellaneous
Package Version:    1.1.0
".

I am building the packages with self-built octave-3.4.2.

So, it looks like version comparison is broken.

Which function in which package does version comparison ?

Thanks,
  Sergei.
