Ubuntu bitcoin packages

[desper]

I had exactly the same problem as riz experienced (see this post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117909.0)

When I download and install the USB using Unetbootin in windows 7, i picked 12.04 live and installed to a  USB stick giving a few gig persistence thinking that can be used for the blockchain files.

I get it installed and on first boot to USB i open a terminal and

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 bitcoin-qt : Depends: libboost-filesystem1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
              Depends: libboost-system1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
              Depends: libboost-thread1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I just have this feeling that it is not working with Ubuntu 12.04.2

the PPA was just made available on 2/23.

Yesterday (May 4th, 2013), the packages on the PPA were updated.  After the upgrade, the Bitcoin client no longer starts, due to database incompatibility problems.  Anyone else having the same problem?
