I haven't used the "released" PPA, as it was not up to date until Irina recently moved my packages from "testing" over there - but I can say for a fact that we do multiple builds a day with clean trusty installs where this works just fine. Having said that, there was discussion of an upcoming qpid-cpp release at which point I committed to making a new release on the "testing" branch, and generally clean up the PPAs as a whole. There was a message sometime last month up here about someone having issues with the PPA packages as well, resulting from conflicting cached PPA information so you might look there? I wish I could be more help, but frankly the debian packages are best-effort at this point. Matt
