Dear Sébastien,

solved. You were are completely right. My fault. I am really sorry.
(I am such an ...)

For the record:
# ls /usr/local/bin
mkoctfile        octave         octave-config-3.6.2
mkoctfile-3.6.2  octave-config  octave-3.6.2

# which octave
/usr/local/bin/octave

Manual removal of all traces of octave in:
 /usr/local/
After that,

# apt-get install octave 
fully succeeded.

Sorry for bothering you.
Thank you for your patience.

With the best regards,
Martin
