[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#335451: octave-forge uninstallable on testing

Package: octave-forge
Version: octave-forge appears uninstallable
Severity: normal


Octave-forge has become uninstallable.  This may be a matter of broken
dependencies: libcln3c2 vs libcln3, etc.  An immediate user
work-around is unclear to me.


    astra:/home/jeff# apt-get install octave-forge

    Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
    requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
    distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
    or been moved out of Incoming.

    Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
    the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
    that package should be filed.
    The following information may help to resolve the situation:

    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      octave-forge: Depends: libcln3 (>= 1.1.6) but it is not going to be installed
		    Depends: libginac1.3 (>= 1.3.0) but it is not going to be installed
		    Depends: libgmp3 but it is not going to be installed
