Bug#995450: buster->bullseye: octave segfaulting during configure (seems unrelated to #992405)

Hi Sébastien.

I currently used a different workaround: I installed the single-thread 
libopenblas and that enables the coexistence of cdo and octave.

Session transcipt where I test current configuration, install the 
multithreaded version, test the segfault then recover the previous state:
