The specific package list (I believe) is found at: http://apt.opengeo.org/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages, and the very first package listed (gdal-mrsid) has this nasty line:
"</span>Depends: libgdal (= 1.8.1-1)<span>" when other, more flexible, packages have things like this: "</span>Depends: libgdal (>= 1.8.1-1)<span>"</span></div><div><span>* It's quite possible that you don't need this gdal-mrsid package to do what you want to do. There don't appear to be any dependencies on gdal-mrsid in the rest of the OpenGeo Suite packages, but you might run into other problems. A quick search of launchpad didn't turn up a newer ppa for gdal-mrsid. You can see that the version at OpenGeo still has this problem:</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>jeffme@jeffme-vbox:~$ sudo apt-get install gdal-mrsid<br>[sudo] password for jeffme: <br>Reading package lists...

Someone know how can linstall postgresql-9.1.3-2-linux.run in Ubuntu 12.04?<br>
<br>
I installed it but I can not to launch stackbuilder to configure new<br>
tools like postgis.<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
As Jeff said, installing on Ubuntu 12.04 using apt-get is easy, and I've only used stackbuilder once. You don't really need it.<br>
<br>
I like to experiment with the latest so currently I do install PostGIS from sources. The version in the official Ubuntu repository is still at 1.5.3<br>
<br>
There are instructions here for PostGIS 2 packages that look pretty promising:<br>

My own grueling details are here: http://wildsong.biz/index.php/PostGIS<br>
Feedback welcome.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps,<br>
