I suspect there are no prebuilt packages for 1.4.6 for Ubuntu 12.04, given how old 1.4.6 is.
You could get the source from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wireshark/files/src/all-versions/wireshark-1.4.6.tar.bz2/download
(hopefully that'll direct you to the appropriate mirror site).

As it's source code, you will have to:
Make sure you have *development* packages of all the support libraries you need (libpcap, GLib, and GTK+ at a minimum), unpack the bzipped tarball (if the version of GNU tar on your Ubuntu system can't uncompress bzipped files, use bzcat and pipe that to tar), change to the source directory, run ./configure, run make if that works, run "make install" if that works (you may have to run it as "sudo make install").
