Ubuntu 9.10 repository provides texlive-2007 .deb packages. They are old.
Installing the new texlive-2009 (it includes circuitikz) is a good thing.

Here is a quickinstall
http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html 
where you can read
- 'How to acquire the software'
(http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html e.g downloading the iso
or installing over the internet)
- 'Running the installer' or 'GUI installer' and
- 'Post-install: setting the PATH' (it's essential: see 3.4.3/3.4.4 in the
full info page http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html)

By default, the texlive-2009 bundle is installed on
/usr/local/texlive 

(There is no need of deinstalling the old .deb packages, however
they are not used anymore.)
