I tried this approach and I get stuck on a dependency. Trying to install
liblapack3 with

sudo dpkg -i liblapack3_3.4.1-6_i386.deb

gives

dpkg: regarding liblapack3_3.4.1-6_i386.deb containing liblapack3:
 liblapack3 breaks liblapack3gf (<< 3.4.1-1)
  liblapack3gf (version 3.3.1-1) is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing liblapack3_3.4.1-6_i386.deb (--install):
 installing liblapack3 would break liblapack3gf, and
 deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 liblapack3_3.4.1-6_i386.deb

I tried to uninstall liblapack3gf  but then the package manager (and sudo
apt-get remove) automatically installs libatlas3gf-base and then I get

dpkg: regarding liblapack3_3.4.1-6_i386.deb containing liblapack3:
 liblapack3 breaks libatlas3gf-base (<< 3.8.4-4)
  libatlas3gf-base (<< 3.8.4-4) is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing liblapack3_3.4.1-6_i386.deb (--install):
 installing liblapack3 would break ibatlas3gf-base, and
 deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 liblapack3_3.4.1-6_i386.deb

and so I end up in a vicious circle. The inability to uninstall /both/
libatlas3gf-base /and/ liblapack3gf seems to be preventing me from
proceeding.
