Comment(by glen.henshaw@…):

 Note that once you get one octave package to install, the rest will then
 install. For instance, octave-ad installs fine. The one can install
 octave-control et al.


 However, each install fails at the activation stage with the following
 cryptic error:


 {{{
 --->  Activating octave-control @1.0.11_0
 Error: Target org.macports.activate returned:
 Log for octave-control is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_math_octave-control/main.log
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}


 The end of the log file shows that Octave has suffered a segmentation
 fault upon exit:

 }}}


 Thus, the package has actually installed, and the package's functions are
 available in Octave  However, Octave then suffers the same seg fault on
 exit whenever it is run from the command line. This bug appears to have
 been reported separately as ticket #24860.
