Package: octave3.0-common
Severity: normal

I tried installing octave3.0-common for i386. I get the following error:
sudo dpkg -i Desktop/octave3.0-common_3.0.3-3_all.deb Desktop/octave3.0_3.0.3-1_i386.deb 

Selecting previously deselected package octave3.0-common.

At the moment there is no octave3.0.3-3 on experimental for the i386 architecture, only 3.0.3-1: i386...

Thanks, Oz
