Unable to install package post adding ppa

  • 772

I've been trying to create a bootable pen drive for the windows 10 may update on my ubuntu laptop for my PC. I'm running the 19.04 version of ubuntu. Since the windows iso needs special processes to be burned to the usb I'm required to install the woe-usb open source package.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install woeusb

But I keep receiving this error 

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package woeusb

I've searched throughout Stack Exchange and ask ubuntu but I have ended up empty-handed.

live-usb ppa apt woeusb 19.04

    The PPA ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 currently contains packages for Ubuntu up to 20.04 LTS.

    So you can install WoeUSB as usual:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get install woeusb

    Also the WoeUSB package exists in ppa:tomtomtom/woeusb PPA:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomtomtom/woeusb
sudo apt-get install woeusb

    Note: to prepare this answer I have used special PPA search page on LaunchPad.net - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas .

  2. Dependency is added in version 3.3.0-1 in my ppa.

    Thx for reporting the issue.
