Specifically, the packages offered under 12.04 use libsword8 for 
BibleTime and libsword9 for Xiphos.  If BibleTime is installed first, 
apt-get gives:
~$ sudo apt-get install xiphos

The following extra packages will be installed:
   libgsf-1-114 libgsf-1-common libsword-common libsword9 xiphos-data

   sword-text
The following packages will be REMOVED
   bibletime libsword8
The following NEW packages will be installed

Do you want to continue [Y/n]?

Continuing (obviously) kills BibleTime.  If the process is done 
installing Xiphos first, apt-get refuses to replace the later libsword 
with the earlier one and fails to install.  It is clearly a packaging 
problem - we just need a packaged version of a later build of BibleTime.

God bless,        Barry.
