Kevin, So you are on 12.10, which is one minor release past Precise (12.04) which is the current LTS (Long Term Support) release. I haven't confirmed that the Precise Riak package will work on Quantal, but I suspect it will be fine. In version mismatches most issues you'll find will be on install with dependencies. If this is something you will rely on for a business in a production sense, I'd recommend using a LTS release like Precise (12.04) instead and know that we tested Riak on that platform. If this is for development purposes, you will likely be fine on 12.10. If something complains on install with dependencies please let me know so I can respond differently the next time this comes up on the mailing list.
