Mark - tnx for your interest (and sorry to read that Chris C. is ducking 
out of this thread -- tnx for all you do.)  I managed to have a quick look 
at it again this morning, and hope to find another hour before the day is 
out, but I came to roughly the same conclusion.

yaz3 must be replaced by yaz4. I ended up reinstalling the server [again] 
to be certain that everything was clean, and by:

$ sudo apt-get install libyaz4
PLUS
libyaz4-dev
libnet-z3950-zoom-perl
libxml-libxslt-perl
libgraphics-magick-perl
liblingua-stem-snowball-perl
libtemplate-perl
libtemplate-plugin-htmltotext-perl
liblingua-ispell-perl
libhtml-template-pro-perl
libreadonly-xs-perl
libtest-strict-perl

THEN using:

$ sudo dpkg --set-selections < install_misc/ubuntu.packages
$ sudo dselect

you get all the dependencies properly.  Starting with dphg + dselect 
somehow *half* installs about 50 i386 bits and pieces, and while

$sudo apt-get purge .*:i386

cleaned up quite nicely, I did a complete 12.04 re-install to make sure 
everything was copacetic.

I did need to add the koha repository to get one file 
[template::htmltotext] as this is not an Ubuntu|Debian file, but is 
recorded after install as "koha".  FYI, getting Robin's pgp required a 
couple of steps that you did not mention. Using:

$ wget http://debian.koha-community.org/koha/gpg.asc | sudo apt-key add -

gives the error "GPG error: http://archive.ubuntu.com dapper Release: The 
following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not 
available: NO_PUBKEY 14D36485A99CEB6D"

To correct this:
$ gpg --recv-keys 14D36485A99CEB6D

And then add it to apt-keys:
$ gpg --export --armor 14D36485A99CEB6D | sudo apt-key add -

works fine.

BTW, you wrote earlier:

While I'd love to have time to "submit patches", I juts seem to spend too 
much time maintaining a production system.  I do not use a pure Debian 
system, but Ubuntu for all our servers and workstations.  Hence your "For 
everything else, there is tarball."  My current aim is to get the 
production server onto 3.8.x from 3.6.x, but need to document (internally 
here) how to do this cleanly.

The tarball has always worked extremely well on i386 machines -- I just get 
the impression (not proven) that Ubuntu 12.04 gets its knickers in a twist 
on AMD64.  But with a little time and effort workarounds can be 
found.  Probably nothing wrong, just new quirks, with either Ubuntu or 
Koha, but I do not need to be under pressure for the production upgrade.

Again tnx and more later - I'm rushing off to an outside meeting.

Best - Paul
