Go to the Launchpad ppa for pan: https://launchpad.net/~klaus-vormweg/+archive/ppa/+packages Select the 12.04 install for Pan 0.139. Download the 64 or 32 bit Deb package and install. Does NOT use Gnome Key Ring... Been using it for weeks w/out problems other than getting used to it. Go into the .pan2 directory and delete the old score file. I found some problems with it on startup where it kept expiring the same scores day after day.
