octave - error when computing dependencies

Description

When I try to install octave, I get the following error message:

sh-3.2# port install octave
--->  Computing dependencies for octave
Error: Dependency 'atlas' not found.
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

Clearly, the atlas package cannot be found. Any solutions to this??

"sudo port -v selfupdate" and try again? The atlas port definitely exists in the repository.

There is nothing to fix here. Please move any tech support issues to the Macports Users Mailing List.

Problem exists for me also ===

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run

port upgrade outdated

Possibly a port index problem?

Sorry for not replying in a while. I actually solved the problem the same day as i created the ticket here...

Apparently there are two different variants of octave: Atlas and Accelerate. I don't really know the difference between the two variants, but since Atlas didn't work i just tried to install the other one instead. So I wrote something like

port install octave +accelerate +gcc45

and it worked. I have not used octave so much since the installation, only simple contour plotting, but it works fine..

In any event, as mentioned above, this is a tech support issue. The atlas port exists and there is nothing to change in Macports.

I understand that the ticket is closed, but want to add something nevertheless. I was hit by the same problem today. I ran selfupdate, upgrade outdated, install octave in that order and it was complaining about missing atlas. I tried "port search atlas" which resulted in "No match for atlas found". After that I tried selfupdate, upgrade outdated (which errored out with "No ports matched the given expression") again and atlas was suddenly found. The first and last selfupdate were approximately an hour apart. Could it be that indexes are messed up during upgrade somehow?
