That's Ubuntu 15.04. There is no Octave package for 15.04 in the Octave
team PPA, so I believe you are using the official Octave binary from
Ubuntu. Can you verify that?

  $ dpkg -l octave
  Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
  | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
  |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
  ||/ Name           Version      Architecture Description
  +++-==============-============-============-=================================
  ii  octave         3.8.2-4      amd64        GNU Octave language for numerical

If that's the case, which I believe it is, you should report a bug
against the Ubuntu octave package.

However, I can save you some time because I know that this exact bug is
valid and has already been reported (and not yet fixed). All it needs is
someone to step up and follow the procedure to get the package rebuilt.
