Do you mean in Debian or Kubuntu? The packagers are using libsword7  
which means Sword 1.6, and BT 1.7 is not anymore actively  
developed/packaged but all effort goes to 2.x. BibleTime 1.7 and  
2.xalpha/beta should work with Sword 1.5 and 1.6 but the packagers  
decide which versions they package and use together. libsword6 and  
libsword7 are incompatible in Debian based distros. (Jonathan may  
correct me if I'm wrong.)
