Unsuccessful installation of libgfortran3 on Ubuntu13.10

Question

I need some help on installing libgfortran3 on an old machine that runs Ubuntu 13.10.

Here's the error message from sudo apt-get install libgfortran3

The following packages have unmet dependencies:                                                 
 libgfortran3 : Depends: gcc-4.8-base (= 4.8.1-10ubuntu8) but 4.8.1-10ubuntu9 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.       

Apparently my installed gcc-4.8-base is newer than the required version.

gcc-4.8-base:

Any pointers on how to resolve this problem? Thanks.
