[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#362691: broken dependencies?

[Steve M. Robbins]

Package: octave2.1
Version: 1:2.1.73-6
Severity: serious

Hello,

Octave fails to run,

   steve at riemann{~}octave2.1
   octave2.1: error while loading shared libraries: liblapack.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

despite having all dependencies satisfied.  The problem looks to be that
octave expects atlas3-base to install /usr/lib/liblapack3.so, whereas
it actually installs /usr/lib/liblapack_atlas.so.3

P.S.  Same bug applies to octave2.9.
