octave-image has link errors on 15.10

[John Cupitt]

octave-image will not load on 15.10 due to link errors. I see:

I've tried on a couple of 15.10 installs, no PPAs except google chrome.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Mike Miller (mtmiller)]

This error can be fixed by a simple no-change rebuild of octave-image, it was not rebuilt for the gcc 5 ABI transition. It is already fixed in the xenial release, only needs fixing for wily 15.10.

Ubuntu 15.10 (wily) reached end-of-life on July 28, 2016.

This bug does not affect any other supported release, closing.
