This seems to be a problem in connection with the octave-forge package:
After uninstalling the current testing version
octave-forgre=2005.06.13-2
octave-2.1 started correctly on my system.
Therefore I've installed the unstable version
octave-forge=2005.06.13-4 .
And It worked for me without the anoying panic.
Therefore, it might be a good idea to add a conflict
octave-forge <= 2005.06.13-4
to the octave2.1 packages....
