I tried the couchdb-bin from the Novacut ppa. It seemed to work fine and solved LP: #780972. After trying it and then going back to the current Oneiric version I found that I soon couldn't access my database (lernid preferences). I had to delete the database and recreate it to go on==not a big deal for Lernid, but something to be aware of in terms of migration planning if it is the general situation, particularly for contacts and bookmarks.
