The segmentation fault seems limited to Octave. Assuming you still
have the octave package removed, can you try the following:

  sudo ppa-purge ppa:octave/stable
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install octave

Do you still get the same post-installation error? If so, try running
octave even though the post-install failed:

  octave

What is the full output displayed? Do you get a segmentation fault
error here or do you get the Octave interpreter prompt?

What is the output of the following:

  update-alternatives --display libblas.so.3
