You were using the wrong email address. You've found the right one now.

I strongly recommend learning to use the higher-level package
management systems in Ubuntu rather than trying to install individual
packages manually. This will avoid these kinds of problems.

It it entirely possible to build xapian-core on Ubuntu, even if
another version is already installed. I suggest you build
xapian-core 1.0.16, install it, and then build Search-Xapian against
it. (It sounds like you were trying to build Search-Xapian without
installing your new xapian-core.) If that doesn't work, come back with
just the first thing that goes wrong, with the full error message and
a list of steps taken up until that point.
