Hi Paul, I agree, this is now a problem in the latest release 15.04. The graphicsmagick package was updated to a new build using the 16-bit quantum depth option, and the octave source package was not rebuilt against that library. I'm retitling and updating this bug report to reflect the incompatibility. I believe this qualifies for a SRU for octave, please follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates to pursue an SRU to fix this problem in octave.
