Hmm. We maintain the Debian versions, but AFAIK, don't have much of
anything to do with the Ubuntu versions beyond them grabbing the
packages out of Debian.

Odd. Try doing an `apt-get update` and then running the install command
again. If it still fails, you really need to seek help from an Ubuntu
list or forum, as I cannot hepl diagnose problems with the ubuntu
repository. BTW, is universe considered their stable or their unstable
repo?

Did you also remove the line before it that prints out the message?
If not, you probably should.

Good, but you want to run `chown -R www-data:www-data /etc/horde` so
that way the config files for imp4, horde3 and any other horde
applications you have are writeable.

You go through the configuration process. Then horde will fail to write
to the conf.php file and then it will tell you to copy the configuration
(which will be displayed on the page) and paste it into conf.php.
