In Octave 7.2

error: unpack: unarchiving program exited with status: 2

I looked into it a bit and apparently, the url reference in packages/packages/statistics-resampling.yaml for the latest release is
versions:
- id: "5.5.4"
date: "2024-01-08"
sha256: "09b92b306cb2d801ec12d7f0015228d4bb31e55047c5824b9b32f5e2fb4df4d4"
url: "https://github.com/gnu-octave/statistics-resampling/archive/refs/tags/v5.5.4.zip"
depends:
- "octave (>= 4.4.0)"
- "pkg"
whereas your tar.gz and zip files are named
https://github.com/gnu-octave/statistics-resampling/archive/refs/tags/5.5.4.tar.gz
https://github.com/gnu-octave/statistics-resampling/archive/refs/tags/5.5.4.zip
without the v ! Please, make a PR to packages to fix this.
hi @pr0m1th3as, I couldn't reproduce that error, it installed fine for me with the -forge argument. In any case, I created a PR (gnu-octave/packages#388). Is this what you meant?
Yes, this should fix the issue.
ok, I've merged it. I'll close this issue for now but please let me know if the problem persists
I just tested it with -forge option and it still produces an error
>> pkg install -forge statistics-resampling
error: pkg: could not download file /tmp/statistics-resampling-5.5.5-qF0MOL.tar.gz from URL https://packages.octave.org/download/statistics-resampling-5.5.5.tar.gz
error: called from
pkg at line 542 column 13
if i put the url link instead, it works
>> pkg install "https://github.com/gnu-octave/statistics-resampling/archive/refs/tags/5.5.5.zip"
>> pkg list

Closing and re-opening Octave again produced this

I am not sure why this is happening
@pr0m1th3as that is strange. I closed and reopened octave and it works fine for me:

I'm running Octave 8.4 on MacOS. What OS are you running it on? Is it only recently you tried installing the package this way? I recently switched to linking to .zip instead of .tar.gz compressed archives of the package. Do you get the same issue using either of the following commands?
pkg install "https://github.com/gnu-octave/statistics-resampling/archive/refs/tags/5.5.5.tar.gz
pkg install "https://github.com/gnu-octave/statistics-resampling/archive/refs/tags/5.5.5.zip
P.S. I've got the ld warnings when compiling c++ code since updating my macos version from Catalina to Sonoma so I don't think those are unique or significant here (unless someone knows something I don't)
Thanks for your patience in trying to resolving this
I have only tested it on Octave 7.2 on Ubuntu 20.04. It was the first time I tested it with -forge option. Using the URL works just fine. I don't know why this is happening. Perhaps, we could open an issue at discord to make this a bit more visible to other devs, who might have an idea why this occurs and what the problem might be
@pr0m1th3as I think I have resolved this now (https://octave.discourse.group/t/error-installing-a-package-via-the-pkg-install-forge/5201/7). Could you please confirm? I'll then close this issue
I 've tested this on Octave 7.2 as well. Tested earlier on Octave 8.2 as mentioned at Discourse. You can close this issue!
