The details of the fix are at 
http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2006/010477.html

Two files need to be modified, Search.pm and SearchMarc.pm, see the 
details in the post.  The change is relatively straightforward for 
anyone with any kind of programming background, the post contains a 
diff.  You can manually edit the files to change them - that's what I 
did and my install is working fine.

In general it is a larger change to downgrade from MySQL5 to MySQL4 than 
it is to change a couple of files in Koha.  However, if you're more 
familiar with apt and MySQL4 is available in your version of Ubuntu, you 
might feel more comfortable with than than editing perl files.
