Details

Immediately after doing a full upgrade (-Syyuv), tried running the new Octave gui, get this:

$ octave --force-gui
/usr/lib/octave/3.8.0/exec/i686-pc-linux-gnu/octave-gui: error while loading shared libraries:
libqscintilla2.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Without "--force-gui" (i.e., plain CLI version), the above error does not occur. However running ldd on the octave binary does not show libqscintilla2 as a required SO, so the dependency is probably indirect, via some helper program or such.

Fwiw: The PKGBUILD does not mention qscintilla in the 'depends', that's why I'm filing the bug report here rather than upstream. If it belongs upstream, just let me know, I'll refile it there.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  It's included as an optional dependency, read your pacman output. The gui is still experimental and you have to force it to even start it. It won't become a regular dependency until the GUI becomes the standard interface.
