Subject: bug#47189: octave needs to be wrapped with coreutils
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 13:46:42 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <YFCaoi6G2h+Za8VG@3900XT> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 543 bytes --]

I tracked down a bug where octave has a function called 'copyfile' which
shells out to call 'cp -r' but in an environment without coreutils, or
when in a script with PATH unset, it fails.

try it out with the following:
touch foo
guix environment --pure --ad-hoc octave-cli -- \
    octave --eval 'copyfile("foo","bar");'
