Unmet dependency on unavailable octave3.0-common (= 1:3.0.5-6ubuntu2)

[skettlitz]

Binary package hint: octave3.0

On AMD64, the package octave3.0 depends on version ubuntu2, while octave3.0-common is only available in version ubuntu1. Either update octave3.0-common or change the dependency.

Output of apt-get:
# sudo apt-get install octave3.0
...
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  octave3.0: Depends: octave3.0-common (= 1:3.0.5-6ubuntu2) but 1:3.0.5-6ubuntu1 is to be installed

octave version should be 1:3.0.5-6ubuntu2, however, that version fails
to build on i386 [1]:

It does successfully build on all other architectures [2]. Can someone
try building it on i386 and see what happens?

See bug #410242. octave3.0 now builds on i386, Andreas Moog is helping us by requesting a give back. This should fix our problem once it runs.
