To repeat, this is only a problem in the backported Lucid package. The problem is that Lucid has too old jQuery. CouchDB ships a newer jQuery but it's not used but symlinked to the system jQuery instead. The easiest fix would be to not symlink to the system jQuery, even though lintian warns about this.
This is a very frustrating bug as Futon (the web UI of CouchDB) is almost unusable. It seems to depend quite heavily on features of the newer jQuery. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660483 Title: CouchDB 1.0.1 must depends by libjs-jquery >= 1.4.2 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
