[termux-apt] octave from TUR and other problematic unofficial packages are difficult to remove #23605
Description
Problem description
octave: no graphical display found
octave: disabling GUI features
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/octave-cli-9.4.0": cannot locate symbol "_FortranAioBeginExternalListOutput" referenced by "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/octave/9.4.0/liboctave.so"...
on Android 10 and newer, but not on Android 9 or older.
Devices I have tested for this bug:
- Galaxy S7 SM-G930U, Android 8, aarch64: not reproducible
- the current official termux-docker on an x86 PC, Android 9, x86_64: not reproducible
- the future update to termux-docker on an ARM PC, Android 9, aarch64: not reproducible
- Galaxy S9 SM-G960U, Android 10, aarch64: affected
- Galaxy A70 SM-A705FN, Android 13, aarch64: affected
- Steam Deck OLED running bare metal Android-x86, Android 13, x86_64: affected
- Galaxy S8+ SM-G955F, Android 14, aarch64: affected
Affects both octave and octave-x. In octave-x, the error is slightly different, but octave-x still works on Android 8 anyway, so this error also only appears on Android 10 and newer:
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/octave/9.4.0/exec/aarch64-unknown-linux-android/octave-gui": cannot locate symbol "_ZN7Fortran7runtime20executionEnvironmentE" referenced by "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/octave/9.4.0/liboctgui.so"...
What steps will reproduce the bug?
- a device with Android 10 or newer (or possibly a device meeting unknown criteria that just happens to be present only among my own Android 10 or newer devices?) is required to reproduce
pkg install octave
octave
What is the expected behavior?
octave not having CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE on Android 10 and newer

Running very basic, simple operations like x = 1 + 1 in octave on all devices works, but any more complex code, such as referencing an undefined variable or using the pkg function, will result in either
fatal: caught signal Bus error -- stopping myself... Bus error
or
fatal: caught signal Segmentation fault -- stopping myself... Segmentation fault
When using the octave --gui argument from octave-x, the Segmentation fault will print to stderr as "octave exited with signal 11", and the Bus error will print as "octave exited with signal 7"
This bug has existed for quite some time and does not bisect to a recent commit. I'm very sorry for not reporting it sooner, I just forgot to.
Backtrace
The octave from pkg install octave prints only this in gdb:
Thread 1 "octave-cli-9.2." received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000007fffffe100 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0000007fffffe100 in ?? ()
Backtrace stopped: previous frame identical to this frame (corrupt stack?)
If you manage to trigger the Bus error instead of the Segmentation fault, you can get a more populated backtrace in gdb:

What steps will reproduce the bug?
- Install octave (TUR)
pkg install tur-repo
pkg install octave
- form 1 - Segmentation fault
octave
x
- form 2 - Bus error
octave
pkg
- Control - no error
octave
x = 1 + 1
What is the expected behavior?
octave not crashing when running operations that should print a handled error, invoke a more sophisticated function, or possibly other cases.
octave:1> x
error: 'x' undefined near line 1, column 1
