  Thanks -- I bet it's the version with no candidate.  I don't know why
a version with no candidate is getting past ?upgradable, but it's easy
to code around this.  It would be interesting to see what the command
"apt-cache policy libjack0" shows.

  I've committed a change that guards against packages without a
candidate version.  Run "hg revert --all" to undo the patch you
applied, then run "hg pull" and "hg update" to fetch the latest code.
Run "make" to recompile, and hopefully the bug will be gone.
