Eh, I think there's a misunderstanding here: you can't run Octave like
that, it is not a binary package. You must compile it. Change into the
directory where your octave-2.9.13.tar.gz lies and do the following:

tar -xvzf octave-2.9.13

This will extract the files into a new directory, named octave-2.9.13.
Change into this directory and type

./configure

Lots of tests are run. After that, type

make

This will compile the source code into binaries. Expect about half an
hour for that.

After that, you can either run Octave from within your current directory
by typing "./run-octave" or install it into the place chosen during the
configure run (if you didn't specify anything, this will be somewhere
below the /usr/local/ hierarchy). I won't tell you how to do this,
however (it's easy, reading the installation instructions will tell you
how). But this installation bypasses your package manager, so you should
be sure that you want to do this. Judging from the conversation up till
now, I believe the best solution for you would be a bug in Ubuntu's
Launchpad, asking them for a re-sync against Debian.
