Hi, It's impossible right now on 'buntu 16.04 to install/update to a newer version of Krita ( 2.9.11 ): users have to deal with the stock 2.9.7 version. Here is the terminal output while trying to install Krita-2.9 with the ppa:dimula73/krita :

$ sudo apt install krita-2.9

Yes... But that's a problem with Ubuntu. I'm not sure we can solve it.
Comment 2 David REVOY 2016-05-08 19:57:49 UTC
Oh, ok I see. Then probably this thread should probably switch to 'resolved' 'invalid' as it's an operating system issue.

Hurray! Dmitry updated the PPA today ( https://launchpad.net/~dimula73/+archive/ubuntu/krita ) and now it's possible to install 2.9.11. This bug-report can be closed.

Note: here is how I switched from stock 2.9.7 to 2.9.11 :
- Open Synaptic , and mark for 'remove' the package krita and krita-data
- Apply changes, and then close Synaptic. 
- Open a terminal and enter :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dimula73/krita
sudo apt update
sudo apt install krita-2.9
