For Ubuntu, 1.3.12 is actually the newer version found in 10.10 and is stable. 1.3.5 is an older version from 9.10. The dependency checker tool in Koha simply parses the version number incorrectly so it believes that you have a lower version.

I use 1.3.12 in the live cd and so far nobody has reported any problem relating to it.

Thanks for the email. Yes, and the latest (yesterday, April 28th) stable release of Ubuntu (11.04 - Natty Narwhal) also has 1.3.12, which is why I asked for why Koha 3.4 appears to want a different|probably older version.

In any case, Chris was kind enough to reply that he believes that only "labels/patron card features" might be lost, and as that is of no immediate concern to us, I'll stick with the stable Ubuntu distro.

For future reference, you can simply run:

koha_perl_deps.pl -a

and the script will tell you not only what is missing, in need of upgrade, and current, but which deps are required for basic functionality in Koha.

Kind Regards,
Chris
