There are currently two options:  (1) install TeX Live from upstream,
or (2) use the updated TeX Live packages from a PPA.

This PPA has more recent TeX Live packages that can be used to
successfully build the manual:
<https://launchpad.net/~texlive-backports/+archive/ppa>

The list of Ubuntu packages that need to be installed to satisfy all
the manual's TeX Live package dependencies are:

 * latex-color
 * texlive-base
 * texlive-fonts-extra
 * texlive-lang-arabic
 * texlive-latex-base
 * texlive-latex-extra
 * texlive-latex-recommended
 * texlive-pictures
 * texlive-science
 * texlive-xetex
 * tipa

In addition, the following Ubuntu packages are required to build the manual:

 * python-enchant
 * inkscape
 * make
 * po4a
 * ttf-kacst
 * ttf-arabeyes
 * ttf-bengali-fonts
 * ttf-devanagari-fonts
 * ttf-telugu-fonts
 * ttf-thai-arundina
 * ttf-thai-tlwg
 * ttf-linux-libertine
 * ttf-dejavu
 * ttf-dejavu-core
 * ttf-dejavu-extra
 * ttf-sil-scheherazade
 * ttf-farsiweb
 * ttf-sazanami-mincho

Once you've installed those packages, then you should be able to run
'make' to build the English version of the manual and 'make
ubuntu-manual-de.pdf' to build the German version.

Please let me know if you encounter any problems.
