I have the same problem, using jackd and qjackctl on Kubuntu 9.04, and repeatable when starting qjackctl from the command line (recipe below). jackd and qjackctl (and a bunch of other stuff) were installed for me as dependencies when I installed rosegarden.

"sudo apt-cache show jackd" reports:

Version: 0.116.1-3ubuntu3

"sudo apt-cache show qjackctl" reports:

Version: 0.3.4-0ubuntu2

"uname -a" reports:

Linux orac 2.6.28-9-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Sun Mar 8 02:03:17 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Recipe to reproduce the bug:

> qjackctl

/usr/bin/qjackctl: 28: list: not found [ seems to be complaining about the line: "JACK=$($PACTL list | grep jack-sink)" ]
