Same issue in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta. Both times, the system was upgraded from a previous version; 11.04 in this case.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Hein Gustavsen (hein-gustavsen)]

Problem also exists in Kubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 64-bit.

Did a fresh desktop installation and run "apt-get jed-extra" from command line:

test@test-VirtualBox:~$ sudo apt-get install jed-extra

This still happens for every fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I do and installing package from http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/jed-extra still works fine.

Works in Ubuntu 14.04
