Hello,

Warning: I am mostly a windoze user although I have setup and use Trac on an 
Ubuntu server at home...

The version you get from apt-get is set by your distribution's package 
maintainers (and the limitations imposed by other dependencies) and therefore 
can often lag behind releases from the Trac site.

If you did not use easy_install, what did you do?  If it was a manual install, 
then you know what you are doing and should go ahead with upgrading yourself.

If you are happy doing so (I did not find it too difficult) I would recommend 
going the do-it-yourself root, probably after using apt-get to remove the 
current instances?

Go for mod_wsgi (which is actively developed) rather than the currently (and 
probably permanently?) unmaintained mod_python.  I would do this as you try to 
get 0.12 running.

Others may be able to provide more/better help, but those are my thoughts.
