You need to get the above fixed or dpkg will try to configure octave at
every invocation and octave will continue to segfault at every
invocation.

Step 1: Remove the PPA from your sources.list file.
Step 2: Update the list of available packages (apt-get update)
Step 3: Remove every package with 'octave' in its name using your
preferred package manager (this step will probably fail with 'octave',
but maybe we can get rid of some of the other packages).

Step 4: Report back here, so we can continue.
