Octave 3.2.4 in Lucid (10.04)

[kakila]

Hi everybody,

I usually compile Octave from source code, since compilation works perfectly.
When recompiling for Ubuntu 10.04 I got the following "errors" (look like warnings to me)

/usr/local/share/applications/www.octave.org-octave.desktop: error: (will be fatal in the future): value "Math" in key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" requires another category to be present among the following categories: Education;Science
/usr/local/share/applications/www.octave.org-octave.desktop: error: (will be fatal in the future): value "Science" in key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" requires another category to be present among the following categories: Education

Can anybody explain to me what odes it mean.

Thanks,

JPi

be sure to only use lucid repo into synaptic repo

clean the cache then update upgrade

Hi
Thanks for the prompt answer.
I am not using the synaptic repo, I am compiling from source code downloaded form Octave website. I want t use 3.2.4

Does this make any difference?

maverick repo have 3.2.4-6 package, so you can update your sources.list, update, install octave, then change sources.list back to lucid and update again to clean the cache.
