Bug Description

wordpress depends on libjs-jquery. On Natty, this provides Jquery 1.5.x - however, wordpress 3.0.5 only supports jquery 1.4.4.

As a result, various admin UI elements do not function correctly: notably, the image upload (both flash and non-flash) will not work correctly.

As a workaround, diverting the jquery.js symlink and installing a static copy of Jquery 1.4.4 restores the correct functionality.

I just ran into this. It basically breaks almost all of the admin UI.

The oldest Ubuntu version still supported is 12.04 LTS which includes wordpress 3.3.1 and jquery 1.7.1

It appears that WordPress 3.3 supports jquery 1.7.1

https://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.3

Therefore I'm closing this bug.
