How did you succeed installing the package without the dependencies?
octave2.1 has explicitly:

Depends: atlas3-base | lapack3 | liblapack.so.3, 
         atlas3-base | refblas3 | libblas.so.3, [...]
	 
Could you please do the following: remove atlas3-base, lapack3,
liblapack.so.3, refblas3, libblas.so.3, and octave2.1 from your system.
Then "apt-get install octave2.1".  What do you get?
