The packaging situation on Ubuntu 12.04 is a little confusing...

As far as I can tell, you have

liburcu (the one available in the official Ubuntu 12.04 repos, v0.6.7)
liburcu1 (v0.7.x)
liburcu2 (v0.8.x)

The LTTng version on the PPA (v2.5.x) depends on the 0.8 liburcu.
Therefore, liburcu2 is the one you want to install.

Looking at the dependencies, it seems that installing lttng-tools and
lttng-modules-dkms (from the PPA) should have you covered and install
everything you need.

CC-ing Alexandre Montplaisir who maintains most of these packages.
