[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#676614: octave: Installation failure during setup phase

[Arnaud Installe]

Package: octave
Version: 3.6.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I get the following error when trying to upgrade to the latest
(unstable)
version of octave:

==========
Setting up octave (3.6.2-1) ...
octave: error while loading shared libraries: libblas.so.3gf: cannot
open
shared object file: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing octave (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
status 127
==========

This is caused by a transition from libblas3gf to libblas3. The latest
libblas3gf package is a transitional, dummy package simply referring to
libblas3. Due to this name change, the libblas3gf.so.3 library isn't
available
any more. Octave should be updated to accomodate this transition.

Kr,

Arnaud
