In case anyone else cares, here's what I did to get things working:

apt-get download libgfortran3
apt-get download liblapack3
apt-get download python-numpy
sudo dpkg --force-depends -i libgfortran3_4.8.1-10ubuntu8_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i liblapack3_3.4.2+dfsg-2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-numpy_1.7.1-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
