I tried to install the xkcd emacs package (where you can view an xkcd comic in emacs) and got the following error:
Need JSON 1.4, but only 1.2 is available
I tried to get JSON 1.4 but I cannot find it in the package manager ELPA.
It also says that I have JSON 1.3 built in and installed. A lot of things seem to not work correctly.
How can I get xkcd to work inside of emacs?
I use Ubuntu 12.04 and Emacs 24.3.

Until json.el v1.4 is available in some ELPA package (after some searching I was not able to find one) the solution would be for you to install xkcd on your own.
You can find xkcd.el on the github page for the project. Take the file and save it somewhere on your load-path.
Also I'd suggest registering a issue on their github page. It appears that requirement on json v1.4 was committed just today (25 Jan ~9am EST). Perhaps it was a mistake.
