It's unfortunate that the stock Ubuntu freeradius packages are so out of date even on the latest (Wily) they're only up to 2.1.12. Ref: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=freeradius&searchon=names&suite=a... We switched to the repo at http://packages.networkradius.com/ for 14.04 LTS (Trusty) Hopefully in the future the Ubuntu package maintainers can get their act together and ensure the next LTS has the supported & stable version included as stock.

@Jim: Is this a new installation intended to replace your old 1.x setup?
It's a new server installation, all of which is replacing the old server: Yes.
2.2.x is EoL, and will only get security fixes in the future. While it makes much sense to stick with 2.x on established systems, you should probably jump straight to 3.0.x (use latest 3.0.x branch from git, or wait a few days until 3.0.10 is released) for new installation.
Assuming 2.2.9 is config-file-compatible with 2.1.12, I'd be inclined to stick with that. I spent a *lot* of time getting done what I've already gotten done. I really, really don't want to go through that all over again.
Having said that, see https://launchpad.net/~freeradius/+archive/ubuntu/stable if you want to use 2.2.9 anyway. Might save you some time and effort.
It will! Thanks!
I believe that's the way I'll go. 14.04 LTS is supposed to be supported until Apr. 2019, so I'm inclined to stick with packages to the extent possible.
Just getting off an old, long-EOL'd Sun Sparc Solaris system upon which I was *obliged* to build & install from tarballs all the time. Looking to leave that behind to the extent possible.
Do I understand correctly that if I install from that PPA, installing "over the top of" the existing install, and choosing to retain my existing radiusd.conf, that all future updates will come from that PPA, rather than the official Ubuntu 14.04 repos?
