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 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: krita-2.9 : Depends: libgsl0ldbl (>= 1.9) but it is not installable Recommends: create-resources but it is not going to be installed Recommends: pstoedit but it is not going to be installed Recommends: kde-style-oxygen but it is not going to be installed or kde-style-oxygen-qt4 but it is not going to be installed Recommends: krita-2.9-l10n but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Yes... But that's a problem with Ubuntu. I'm not sure we can solve it.
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
