Thank you Tomas (and Robin, Mike and Mark),

koha_perl_deps.pl -m -u is now giving no missing dependencies.  However:

WARNING: on the 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04, do not attempt an apt-get install of 
libyaz4-dev_4.2.18-1build1_i386.deb - I ended up with a bunch of files 
fragments to purge, found with sudo dpkg --configure -a

Strangely, libgraphics-magick-perl did not fully install (it's also got 
some i386 bits that 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 won't digest) but it does get far 
enough to (apparently) meet Koha 3.8.3 dependencies.

I'll try and get full notes written up later and look into the 
koha-communities repository (off to a meeting now ...)

Again, thanks to all,
Paul
