What .deb links to the above 'uninstallable' packages were used? Are
you sure that they were for your Ubuntu?  Which Ubuntu version is it?
The usual way to install third-party .deb packages is to add sources
lines to Synaptic.

So, I think you need to install the right packages for that Ubuntu.
The guide above suggests using debian etch binaries which doesn't seem
right to me. If the libyaz3 in Ubuntu universe at
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libyaz3 isn't recent
enough, building it yourself is better.

Package building is a general Ubuntu problem, so you'll get better
help on Ubuntu forums, but I'd use something like apt-get source
libyaz3 \n cd libyaz<TAB> \n dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us binary IIRC. My
company could do it on your server, but it would probably be March
because we're very busy just now.  Sorry.

Hope that helps,
