Ask the ubuntu-maintainers who provide these packages.
Maybe they can backport the lucid packages to karmic.

You miss the point! My original post was caused by Canonical (a third party) updating the wx libs and thereby breaking my installation. There have been other cases of problems with shifting incompatibilities over the years. This is a confusing state of affairs.
As it happens, I have answered my own question: Version 2.8.11.0-1 from apt.wxwidgets.org does the job.
Would (some of) this confusion be removed by adding an INSTALL into the tarball of debs stating exactly which version of the wx libs the package has been built with? There does not seem to be any easy way of extracting this information from the debs themselves - they just report a dependency against wx version 2.8.0.) A similar statement in the Windows versions would also be welcome.

Wow, you really want non-experts to stop using Codeblocks, don't you? As I've said in my few previous posts on these forums, we are entering an era where laypeople are going to be using Linux thanks to the accessibility that Ubuntu provides. I appreciate all the efforts that are made to create and distribute this free software, but you will reap lessened rewards for your hard work if you don't take advantage of this accessibility.
That said, it is unclear what I need to do in order to get Code::Blocks to work in Ubuntu again. Like the op, I had added pasgui's repository to my package manager and installed 'codeblocks' and all dependencies from there. Is anyone able to provide instructions for resolving this issue within the Package Manager?
Thank you.

What you experience it exactly the reason for me NOT to use Linux as my main platform. So - from my point of view it's probably really an option for you to stick with a more common OS like Windows. I am pretty sure you'll get C::B up and running in seconds on that OS.

If you uhave used pasgui's repo and ubuntu's wxwidgets, you can switch to my repo instead of pasguis (nightly builds) or use our downloads for release 10.05, but at the moment you have to install the files manually.
We can not provide repositories for each and any existing debian distro.
I might setup a repo with C::B 10.05 release the next days. If I do so, I will post the link here.

Jens, thank you so much for your help. You have been consistently and consummately empathetic, and you've always provided solutions to my problems in a timely and non-judgmental way.
I feel compelled to respond to MortenMacFly, though, because of his wholly inappropriate response.
Is the condescension really necessary, Morten? I need to use Linux because it is the primary operating system used in the research that I do. Therefore, my time is better spent working on science (since that is what I am trained to do) than working on getting my OS to play nicely with its tools (which I am not trained to do).
Since you seem so loathe to have me as a consumer of your product, I will happily get out of your hair if you can suggest to me another IDE that has virtual project management (all the other IDE's I've tried do not have this feature, which is the #1 priority for me).
Alternatively, you can help me resolve my problem, like Jens does, (thus creating a happy consumer who will suggest Code::Blocks to all his colleagues rather than an unhappy consumer who will tell everyone to avoid Code::Blocks at all costs) instead of complaining about people like me spoiling Linux for you.
