I set up bitcoind as server. It downloads the testnet blockchain but it is inconsistent with public data:
http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/q/getblockcount
182951 (As of 18/02/14)
And
bitcoind getblockcount
53317
My testnet accounts receive bitcoins from public faucets:
http://blockexplorer.com/testnet/address/mjDutNstJpZo929nLdZGKPh75fWKuTQNi1 (form 2 different faucets)
But
bitcoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true
[
...
{
"address" : "mjDutNstJpZo929nLdZGKPh75fWKuTQNi1",
"account" : "3",
"label" : "3",
"amount" : 0.00000000,
"confirmations" : 0
}
]
Any help?
bitcoind getinfo

"version" : 32400,
"balance" : 0.00000000,

Solution
Please read the accepted answer.
Dont do apt-get update and install (at least in Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS)
Instead:
sudo aptitude install python-software-properties
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install bitcoind
