I installed the new Ubuntu yesterday and as I expected my latex file didn't compile anymore. I'm using so exotic packages as siunitx and bpchem which do not come with ubuntu (I got everything installed together with kile).
To get it working, I needed to do the following:
1) download the *.zip packages from ctan.
2) extract to a random directory, you'll see that they contain a package.ins and a package.dtx file
3) go to the random directory and do pdflatex package.ins (you could also do pdflatex package.dtx but it was complaining about a missing template.sty)
4) copy the whole folder to /usr/share/texmf-texlive/tex/latex (sudo cp -r source dest)
5) sudo mktexlsr
and voila, it works.
