    What kind of errors do you get.

    It is generally safe to use one in the Software-downloads, for one it is known to work.

    Is there a reason that you need 1.4 rc6, 1.4x should be fine.

    I am running Debian6 with Scribus 1.4 (for awhile now). And through all the rc updates (currently I am at 1.4 rc6), I have noticed little change, functionality of Scribus has stayed the same.

    Well without telling us what errors you get it is hard for people to help you. How did you add the ppa exactly?

    Try this
    Code:
    sudo apt-add-repository ppa:scribus/ppa
     sudo apt-get update
     sudo apt-get install scribus

    Not necessarily, there are things in the software center that don't work, or only partially.

    Add the ppa (using sudo apt-add-repository ppa:scribus/ppa) then run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install scribus-trunk.
