Installing Octave is followed by an attempt to install an old devel version of Octave

Today I installed octave (over some old versions) and octave-signal (signal processing toolbox).

Octave installed without whining about conflicting Fortran compilers. Thanks to somebody for fixing that.

However, when installing both octave and octave-signal, an attempt was made to install what looks to me like an old devel version, so lines like this appeared, in the case of octave-signal. I recall that for octave, something like these lines appeared then an attempt to install the devel version of 4.0.2 which also failed.

I don't see anything octave-related that is currently not working on my machine but I thought I would report these results anyway.
