It appears that glossaries.sty exists in texlive-latex-extra in Lucid, Precise, Quantal, and Raring [1]. Can you please try installing that package in one of the currently-supported Ubuntu versions and seeing if it fixes your issue?

When compiling a file including the command \usepackage{glossaries} I get the error: ! LaTeX Error: File `glossaries.sty' not found. Exactly the same file compiles fine using TeXnicCenter and Miktex under Windows XP. At first I tried to find an ubuntu package that includes the latex package via synaptic. As this was not successful I installed the complete texlive distribution "texlive-full". However it was nowhere inside and I still got the error that the package was not available. So I tried to install the package manually by copying it to "/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex" and "~/texmf/tex/latex" and running sudo texhash. This did not work either. I think there should be an ubuntu package including this latex package so it is installabel using synaptic.
