There is no GUI yet. If you mean QtOctave, it's abandoned and
scheduled to be deleted from the repositories.

You should not be using pkg install to install OF packages in Debian.
They are already packaged for Debian with apt. So e.g. instead of
doing "pkg install signal" from Octave, you should do "aptitude
install octave-signal" from bash.

In fact, I wish we could stop telling people to use pkg install,
because it's a very brittle way of getting packages to people.
