Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2015-07-31 22:17:33 UTC

From John Eaton:

This patch seems to take care of it:

  http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/specfun/rev/153e6946b5cb

so the next release of the specfun package should fix this problem.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 17:05:52 UTC

Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
