GUI is not usable saying module gui is not installed on scilab

How do you start Scilab?

What "dpkg -l|grep scilab" is returning?

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

Same bug for me. Scilab still not usable because of no gui access and unworking plotting functions.

dpkg -l|grep scilab gives me
ii scilab 5.5.0-1 all Scientific software package for numerical computations

Same question. How do you start Scilab?

OK. I know what is wrong. A fix is going to be uploaded in Debian tonight.

This bug was fixed in the package scilab - 5.5.0-2

---------------
scilab (5.5.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Bring back the signal processing library (Don't know why it was missing)
    (Closes: #738456) (LP: #1265929)
  * Bring back missing changelog items (Closes: #733279)
  * Restrict to the arch on which OpenJDK is available:
    amd64, armel, armhf, i386, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390x, arm64, ppc64el
    (Partial Closes of #739235)
  * Disable dh_autoreconf call. Disabling of libtool in dh_autoreconf is failing
    It messes things up in Ubuntu with the weird Scilab library ordering stuff
    (LP: #1307875)
