Hello, the most reliable version information is written into your log files when you typeset anything (even if that fails): take a look into the .log file of your example and search for 'pgfplots'.
If I remember correctly, you can also type '\listfiles' as first command (before \documentclass) into your document, translate it, and get a summary of every loaded package and its version at the end. The version from launchpad is, unfortunately, no longer up-to-date: the most recent stable is 1.4.1 . Since you are using ubuntu, you can install a local version of pgfplots manually using the zip package from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgfplots/ : get the archive and unzip it to ~/texmf. Then, run 'texhash' -- this should be enough to install it. The deinstallation is to delete all directories called 'pgfplots' at ~/texmf/*/pgfplots.
