Yeah, run the apt-show-versions command first on 14.04 so we know for 
sure what we're dealing with.  I expect 0.15.something to be installed 
on a vanilla trusty (14.04) machine.

The reason for not seeing anything for "libprotobuf-c0" in vivid (15.04) 
is that Ubuntu seems to have changed their naming scheme between the 
releases.  Compare this:

     http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libprotobuf-c0-dev

to this:

     http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/libprotobuf-c-dev

and note the absence of the "0" suffix in the latter.  Had I realized 
you were trying to install on 15.04, I wouldn't have bothered with all 
the dpkg / pkg-config stuff in the first place.
