 When I had Wordpress version (3.0.5+dfsg-1ubuntu1) installed on Ubuntu
 oneiric and jQuery 1.6.2 installed in /usr/share/javascript/jquery, I
 would get jQuery syntax errors on the Admin pages, and the 'Edit' links
 under 'Publish' group wouldn't work properly.  I reverted to jQuery 1.4.2
 and everything worked as expected.

 My jquery.js is linked from the wordpress directory to the
 /usr/share/javascript/jquery directory.

 It would be nice if wordpress would work with jQuery 1.6/1.7, or if it
 could give a warning if the wrong version is being used.  It was
 interesting that the URL to load jQuery appeared to specify 1.4.2, but it
 didn't fail when 1.4.2 wasn't found.
