Comment (by mschamschula@…):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign@…]:
 > The error message you're having the port print in the pre-configure
 block says the port is replaced by octave-miscellaneous, but it's actually
 replaced by octave-financial. Probably a copy/paste error, but it
 illustrates the pitfalls of repeating information in a portfile. For
 values that are used more than once in a portfile, define the value only
 once, in a variable, then use that variable anywhere else it's needed. In
 this case, the variable is `${replaced_by}`. Or use the `obsolete 1.0`
 portgroup to simplify the port and also avoid this problem.

 As per Ryan's suggestion, changed Portfile to use PortGroup obsolete.
