There is now a 14.04LTS release available here: http://firmware.diydrones.com/Tools/APMPlanner/daily/2014-06-23/
And will be available in every daily release after that (as well as stable). ubuntu/ubuntu64 is for 13.04(raring), and ubuntu_trusty/ubuntu_trusty64 is for 14.04 (trusty).
or see http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/apm-planner-2-deb-package-on-ubun... for another workaround.
We are working on building 14.04LTS with new releases. We should have a solution soon.
Oh, https://github.com/diydrones/apm_planner/issues/317 .
@Kenneth, sorry I only just got around to looking into this. I have both libopenscenegraph80 and libopenscenegraph99 packages installed on my ubuntu 14.04 . Looking in launchpad I see that the standard repositories do not have the "80" version. So I must have installed it from a PPA or manually. I'll try and figure out where I got it from. This probably means that everyone who tries to install apmplanner2 on a fresh ubuntu install has the same problem as you.
You could also just modify the dependencies in the .deb and see if it works with the new scenegraph library: http://superuser.com/questions/280370/how-to-easily-edit-control-fi...
I don't think I had any issuesinstalling on 14.04... I'll be at that machine this evening and I'll check what versions of scenegraph etc I have installed and hopefully be able to tell you something helpful.
@Aaron, true, but clicking on this deb file it is looking for an older version of libopenscenegraph80. A window opens with instructions to use sudo dpkg -i apmplanner-XXX.deb in termial to load the software.
@Bill, I tried that earlier, The problem is that the dependency is an older version than what kubuntu 14.04 is currently using.
This is what I receive when running the command sudo apt-get install libopenscenegraph-dev libssl-dev libqt4-opengl-dev libudev-dev

By default Kubuntu uses QApt which is a QT-based app similar to gdebi. Just click on a .deb and you get a lovely install interface.
