So that links seems to be broken. But i guess it had the current patch to the
package, which i was trying to install atm. Which are the steps to apply it?
Sorry for my great ignorance of linux.

Thanks in advance.

The links that Marco Atzeri sent you are:

 

[1] Bug report: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?46521

[2] Patch: https://savannah.gnu.org/support/download.php?file_id=44095

To apply the patch [2] in Linux, download the latest version of the package

  $ wget https://octave.sourceforge.io/download.php?package=communications-1.2.1.tar.gz -O communications-1.2.1.tar.gz

  $ tar -xf communications-1.2.1.tar.gz 

  $ rm communications-1.2.1.tar.gz

  $ cd communications-1.2.1/

  $ patch -p1 < ../octave-4.4-all.patch

  $ cd ..

  $ tar -zcf communications-1.2.1.tar.gz communications-1.2.1

  $ rm -R communications-1.2.1

Then from within Octave:

  >> pkg install communications-1.2.1.tar.gz

HTH,
