Thomas Ward (teward) said : #4

It appears that maybe this is a case of your system mis-handling the repository information.

I can confirm that there *are* versions of the packages in the PPAs; I would suggest perhaps just running apt-get one more time and seeing if that gets you more useful repository data.

Stephen Winiecki (swinieck) said : #5

I did apt-get update && apt-get upgrade and still get the same result

Thomas Ward (teward) said : #6

Whoops, looks like the PPA where these actually build (not the ppa you add to your repository sources) doesn't have arm64 builds. Guess it's time to start including them. I'll have to make some arm64 builds first and copy them over.

Thomas Ward (teward) said : #7

This issue should now be resolved, as I have put arm64 builds into the Stable PPA now.

Stephen Winiecki (swinieck) said : #8

Thanks Thomas. I successfully installed the stable ppa on an arm64 16.04 platform
