Pkg uninstalled all packages, can't reinstall


From: Allen.Windhorn
Subject: Pkg uninstalled all packages, can't reinstall
Date: Fri, 1 Aug 2014 15:25:01 +0000

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on a Dell Optiplex 7010 x86.
I attempted to install package odepkg from the forge, and got a
bunch of errors seeming to come from the installer trying to
use unix utilities from \usr\bin instead of its own versions,
so I temporarily renamed all of them and tried again.  (Symptoms
were Windows popups saying "Sh.exe has stopped", "Sed.exe has
stopped" etc., and it couldn't find anything to run a file
called "configure".)  Now when I try pkg install -forge odepkg
it just hangs with no prompt, and ALL of my other packages are
gone.  Trace below.

Similar problems happened on my other machine, also Dell 64 bit,
but 8-processor, but it says optim (and struct) are installed,
but all previously installed packages are gone.

Oh, I'm doing all this on Octave 3.6.4.  I have 3.8 installed,
but am not using it for serious work yet.  It still has all its
packages, so I'm not going to mess with it.

TIA for any advice.

Regards,
Allen
