Sounds like you're using outdated installation instructions; the newest ones can be found here:
http://doc.owncloud.org[/server/4.5/admin_manual/installation.html].
At least the package list is updated there already.

Best regards,
Randolph

Hello OC-team
I've taken a clean Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS image in virtualbox (downloaded yesterday), in attempt to repeat the installation instructions with rigour The server has OpenSSH server and LAMP server installed, and I ssh to it.
LTS 12.04 has owncloud 3 installed, which does not contain all wanted
features.

When issuing the first command:
*sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 php5-json php-xml php-mbstring php5-zip
php5-gd*
I receive the following error messages:
*Note, selecting 'php-common' instead of 'php-json'*
*E: Unable to locate package php-xml*
*E: Unable to locate package php-mbstring
*
*E: Unable to locate package php5-zip*

proceeding with:
*sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl
php-pdo*
Returns the following messages:
*Note, selecting 'libcurl4-openssl-dev' instead of 'libcurl3-dev'*
*E: Unable to locate package php-pdo*

In combination, with step 2.1:
*wget http://mirrors.owncloud.org/releases/owncloud-4.5.5.tar.bz2 && \*
*cd Downloads &&\*
*tar -xjf owncloud-* &&\*
*cp -r owncloud /var/www/ &&\*
*firefox http:/127.0.0.1/owncloud &*

...Whereby I assume that /var/www is correct...(as no explicit instructions
are given for the default installation directory...)

Following these instructions will result in the browser (http:/
127.0.0.1/owncloud) with the error-message
*PHP module GD is not installed*

Could somebody please cross check these instructions?
For example php-xml could call:
*php-xml-htmlsax3*
*php-xml-parser
*
*php-xml-rpc
*
*php-xml-rpc2
*
*php-xml-rss
*
*php-xml-serializer*
....?

The step 2.2. "Set the directory permissions" is a little tricky, as it
assumes knowledge.
"*The owner of your webserver must own the apps/, data/ and config/
directories in your ownCloud install. You can do this by running the
following command for the apps, data and config directories:*
*chown -R www-data:www-data /path/to/your/owncloud/install/data*"

for example *sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/owncloud *executes with no error messages, but should the user be aware of the consequence. I.e. is it a safe or a dangerous typo?). Or would it be more correct to
issue the instructions:
choose storage for your users: f.x.:
*mkdir /home/owncloud/data*
*chown -R www-data:www-data /home/owncloud/data
*
*chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/owncloud/apps*
*chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/owncloud/config*

Finally, the installer script (
https://download.owncloud.com/download/community/setup-owncloud.php) fails to move beyond starting screen on ubuntu 12.04 LTS with firefox installed.
I assume that this is due to the php dependencies?

Suggestion: What if this first-first step was shell-scripted instead?
*#!/usr/bin/sh*
*# this script needs sudo...*
*If (php conditions are not met) then*
*  install these conditions*
*  ...continue setup...in php...*
*Else*
*  ...just continue in php*

Finally when checking the download of the scripts "http*s*" secure element
in http"S",
*wget https://download.owncloud.com/download/community/setup-owncloud.php*
returns the following message:
*--2012-01-15 10:39:20--
https://download.owncloud.com/download/community/setup-owncloud.php*
*Resolving download.owncloud.com (download.owncloud.com)...50.30.42.17*

)|50.30.42.17|:443....connected*

...

Thanks for your help updating the default installation guide
