Not really:
octave:1> pkg load octave-statistics
error: package octave-statistics is not installed
error: called from:
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 2005, column 4
error:   /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/pkg/pkg.m at line 301, column 7

and

apt-get install octave-statistics
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
octave-statistics is already the newest version.

strange isn't it?

kind regards,
jean
