I can confirm this bug as I'm also affected. Ubuntu 13.10 64bits, when trying to install "scilab", says (in French):
Les paquets suivants contiennent des dépendances non satisfaites : scilab : Dépend: scilab-cli (>= 5.4.1-1~exp1) mais ne sera pas installé Dépend: scilab-full-bin mais ne sera pas installé E: Impossible de corriger les problèmes, des paquets défectueux sont en mode « garder en l'état ». -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013856 Title: Install failed: unmet dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/scilab/+bug/1013856/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
