I never had much luck with the copies of Boa in the Ubuntu repositories,
 since it's a python application it's really easy to just check out the
latest code to your machine and launch it directly with python.
See http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=1909

Once you download you can make a launcher with:
python /path/to/files/boa-constructor-0.6.1/Boa.py

Also if patches are made you can always just run an update to get the
latest without having to wait for it to make it to Ubuntu(Can take years)
