I execute dirty workaround 

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/bin/qcollectiongenerator 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qcollectiongenerator 

The above is passed but I h

  GEN      doc/interpreter/octave_interpreter.qhc
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: etex exited with bad status, quitting.

Any suggestions?
