I've just completed the same task using apt-get on karmic. I recommend you attempt to "stop" couchdb using /etc/init.d/couchdb stop.... then browse to it. It will report "stopped" and then not stop, and then proceed to try to fill your /var/log/couch.... with restart errors until you reboot your machine.
The couch repos are just not working well at the moment... so that's not really an option either. I reinstalled firefox after the uninstall and no issues at the moment...but did I break something else, or was that req just for building couch?

It all worked without any problems. It installed all the necessary libraries and did not remove my firefox installation. have you tried sudo apt-get install couchdb? All the best, Fidel.
