[Bug 1288136] Re: Upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 aborted because octave gave a dependency error

[Walter Garcia-Fontes]

This seems to be caused by some of the packages in octave-forge till
depending on Octave 3.6.1, and not on the current version 3.8.0.

Octave works fine but these packages are not installed.

Title:
  Upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 aborted because octave gave a dependency error

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 using "update-manager -d".
  Everything went smooth, but at the stage of "installing packages" an
  error started to appear and it said it was caused by "octave". At some
  point the whole upgrade process aborted.

  I completed by uninstalling octave and all associated packages, and
  issuing "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" and "sudo apt-get autoremove". The
  upgrade completely fine.

  Then I tried to reinstall octave, and I get the error reported in the
  attachment "info.txt". Octave was reinstalled nevertheless and so far
  I think it is working fine, but I always get the ouput shown in the
  "info.txt" attachment when I try to "sudo apt-get upgrade".
