Subject: Re: How to install all toolboxes with one command?
'sudo apt-get install octave-*' should install all packages in the
repository. I think Mint piggybacks off of Ubuntu repositories if I
remember right. Not sure if Ubuntu has all the packages however.
'apt-cache search octave' should tell you what packages are there.

octave3.2 is already the newest version.
octave3.2-common is already the newest version.
octave3.2-common set to manually installed.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
octave-msh : Depends: gmsh (>= 1.6.5) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
