I'll have to bug report and do a 3.8.X specific bug patch (they are in 3.6.7)... But that aside. As I was just chatting with tcohen on IRC, he reminded me that yaz3 was the problem.

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.

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.

is not a 12.04 problem, is a problem with the specific file you're
using with dpkg, which lists some files not available anymore on
12.04.
As Mark said that file has already been patched and its waiting for
inclusion on next release.

That said, you can do a clean install using the instructions and
ommiting that --set-selections step. And installing the dependencies
by hand. As Mark also said.

I also use the tarball in our deployment (38 instances on a single BIG
server) without issues. Besides that i386 packages pull which I
reported and has been solved.

Anyway, I think we should go back to what your original problem was.
Is your incremental indexing working?

Have you properly set your sax parser? (I'm an experienced Koha user
and forgot to check that step last time, having weird behavior)
