The Ubuntu repositories have a very old version of mongoDB - the current stable branch is 2.0 at the time of writing and yours is 1.6, you could try fixing the error but it's not really worth it. You should get an up to date version from the official 10gen repos as described here and uninstall the one you have now:

General procedure would be:

Remove Ubuntu version (apt-get remove mongodb)
Add new repo line and gpg key as described above
Install 10gen version (apt-get update; apt-get install mongodb-10gen)
