Is that the 2.9.1 tag? I just checked that revision out and the
autogen.sh script executed fine although it failed when trying to run
./configure. One thing I notice from your original log is that you're
running it with 'sh autogen.sh' - try just './autogen.sh', it sounds
like your Ubuntu system is trying to execute it with a shell other
than bash, e.g. vanilla sh.

Sorry, I'm just a user and don't have access to maintain the website,
a Debian package may be a possibility in future but it'll be another
PPA dealio and probably wouldn't be built from the main Banshee
repository as there's very little activity there.

Cheers!
