Make sure that the jaunty-updates repository is enabled in Software
Sources. 3.6.10-1 is the latest version in the normal jaunty
repository, 3.6.10-1ubuntu0.2 is the latest version in the
jaunty-updates repo.

If that still doesn't work, just download the appropriate deb directly
from http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty-updates/libsqlite3-dev
