[Bug 465005] Re: octave3.2 fails to install via apt-get with libumfpack.so.3.2.0 error

[Judd Storrs]

I think this is the result of having a broken
/usr/local/bin/octave-3.2.2 before installing the package. For example
this will break the install:

$ sudo ln -s /bin/false /usr/local/bin/octave-3.2.2
$ sudo apt-get install octave3.2

This fails with:

dpkg: error processing octave3.2 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Removing the link allows install to succeed.

$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/octave-3.2.2
$ sudo apt-get install octave3.2
