如何修复在尝试安装 QtOctave 失败后收到的包问题？

Question

我今天通过以下命令安装了 GNU Octave 3.6.4：

cd ~/octave-3.6.4
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /home/brentonhorne/octave-3.6.4/run-octave /usr/bin/octave

它成功安装了它（即使没有最后一行，它也没有octave从命令行运行没有调用它的意义）。

在删除了 Quantal 软件中心目前唯一可用的版本（即 GNU Octave 3.6.3）之后，我才这样做了。

然后我尝试安装 qtoctave，因为它在我运行 GNU Octave 3.6.3 时被删除了sudo apt-get remove octave。运行后sudo apt-get install -f我收到错误：

小心，这会损坏您的安装！

找到没有正确安装的包并复制或记住包的名称：

sudo dpkg --list | grep octave

尝试删除它（可能有一些错误）：

sudo dpkg --remove <package>

尝试清除

sudo dpkg --purge <package>

再试试sudo apt-get -f install。
