Yes, this is a Ubuntu packaging issue. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rkward/+bug/294610 for the corresponding bug report in ubuntu. I'm closing it in this tracker, as it is not an issue in RKWard itself. Still, thanks for reporting. Fixed Ubuntu packages should become available soon. Meanwhile compiling from source should work. There is also a .diff.gz for Debian/Ubuntu package building available from the downloads page. In version 0.5.0c this has been tested to work with Ubuntu 8.10.
