Please use 0.6.3 from Intrepid Backports or 0.7.1 from the official PPA at https://launchpad.net/~pkg-games/+archive/ppa

This bug also applies to v0.7.1 as packaged in Lucid, although the version in the PPA linked to above works. Seems to be a problem that pokerth requires the latest version installed to connect to the Internet games and Ubuntu can't get the upgrades into main or updates that quickly.

pokerth 0.8 is in natty now.
If you want to get it into lucid or maverick you can file a backport request:
