That is better than installing an official Ubuntu 12.04 version that is known to be broken, but could also result in installing a different broken version, for example, on http://www.indexdata.com/yaz/doc/NEWS we see a broken release and then a fix a day later:
----------
--- 4.2.65 2013/08/22
ZOOM: another fix for record caching (introduced in YAZ 4.2.64).
--- 4.2.64 2013/08/21 (Broken WRT ZOOM C, do not use)
ISO2709/MARC parse most octet aligned records; not just those that
are known to be ISO2709/MARC. This makes ZOOM and yaz-client
MARC parse more records instead of just dumping as is. YAZ-670
ZOOM: proper caching for variations of record schema. YAZ-671
Solr: Check for enging / and perhaps commands (select/term) YAZ-651
----------
Installing directly from IndexData by way of, for example
deb http:// ftp.indexdata. dk/ubuntu precise main ftp.indexdata. dk/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://
would bring in at the time of installation the newest version, as new versions are released relatively frequently: http:// ftp.indexdata. com/pub/ yaz/ubuntu/ precise/ ?C=M;O= D.
