*** Current target series: Xenial, Bionic, Focal and Jammy LTS ***
IMPORTANT NOTE for Focal and earlier: Upgrading to fuse3 can cause dpkg to attempt removal of many packages, rather than it just simply upgrading the old fuse to fuse3 (which then "provides" fuse anyhow). To rectify this for now until a possible different solution is found do the following command:
sudo apt-get install fuse3
Note about Curl: Package here is a specialised one containing Curl 3 & 4 symbols and providing the libcurl3 package dependency, to allow install of software depending on libcurl3 even on Bionic and newer series. Please see https:/
Notes for Xenial systems:
* libva 1.8.3 with libva1 is here (Xenial software uses libva1), whereas libva 2.x with libva2 (Bionic and newer) is at ppa:savoury1/
* libvpx 1.7.0 with libvpx5 (Bionic era) is here for Xenial which ships with libvpx3) and libvpx >= 1.11 / libvpx7 is at ppa:savoury1/
* mate-dock-applet 0.90.gtk2 is based on a fork of MATE Dock Applet for GTK2 desktops, essentially a backport of 0.88 with various patches for GTK2 use (https:/
* perl rebuild is with pkgbinarymangler 144 to resolve a conflict when both amd64 and i386 libperl5.22 packages are installed (LP: #1574351). This problem occurs with certain upgrades, eg. when installing newer scanner drivers (sane-backends 1.0.29 in ppa:savoury1/
*** Install ***
Xenial & GNUPG: Backported GNUPG 2.1.23 here replaces 2.1.11 (default) and makes backport processes and upgrades easier, due many packaging changes between the two versions. However, it forces a requirement on newer APT for Xenial also, which is a positive due many improvements and bugfixes. So Xenial users wanting to upgrade to gnupg2 2.1.23 must do these steps:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Xenial & GCC 7.5.0 (FileZilla & nghttp2): Some backports require GCC >= 7 to install and run, due new source code using features in more modern GCC than 5.4.0 (Xenial default). FileZilla >= 3.50.0 and nghttp2 >= 1.41.0 are two examples of such software. For GCC 7.5.0 on Xenial at this Launchpad site: use ppa:savoury1/
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/
OR
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:savoury1/
THEN
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
