Please try the following now, completely uninstall octave and install
again from the PPA. I'm not sure why the arch-independent parts of the
path are not being found, if octave-common is indeed installed
correctly.

$ sudo rm -f /var/lib/dpkg/info/octave.p*
$ sudo apt-get purge octave liboctave1 octave-common
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install octave

This should install 3.6.4 now, the PPA was updated over the weekend.
Let us know if this still does not work.
