Good night, sympy version 1.6 does not seems to be working as mentioned above.

Maybe a option is install it with pip instead with pacman?

pip install "sympy==1.5.1"

octave-symbolic 2.9 is not compatible with python-sympy>1.6 Last working version of sympy is 1.5.1

The package can't be used without python-sympy, which is listed here just as a make dependency. According to https://octave.sourceforge.io/symbolic/ python-sympy >= 1.2 is a runtime dependency, and it works only with python-sympy installed.

Add 'octave' as dependency. It's trivial but would help when uninstalling octave.

I can reproduce this if I remove all octave-* packages. For the last package which is removed, pacman also removes /usr/share/octave/packages, because it is now empty. Then we run "pkg rebuild -global" to make octave update the package database. But this command fails if /usr/share/octave/packages does not exist. If I remove and re-install octave, /usr/share/octave/packages also does not exist, and running "pkg rebuild -global" fails with the same error. So to fix this cleanly, we have to either artificially add a dummy file to /usr/share/octave/packages in octave's PKGBUILD, or upstream should teach pkg rebuild to deal with a missing /usr/share/octave/packages. Note that the package is still removed as far as pacman is concerned. Only pkg list will still show the package. You can fix it by manually creating /usr/share/octave/packages and running octave -q -f --eval "pkg rebuild -global" as root.

Uninstall (# pacman -Rns octave-symbolic) fails with following error: error: couldn't read directory /usr/share/octave/packages: No such file or directory error: called from rebuild at line 29 column 7 pkg at line 505 column 25

It is a runtime dependency of octave: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/45956 See also same discussion in: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octave-miscellaneous/
