** Description changed: Currently all of the other important utilities are included for installation on Ubuntu. However currently though a Ubuntu Linux user, is unable to perform an iOS device restore. In order to do so currently the user needs to have some way of running an up to date iTunes software with a usb connection to the iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Which is quite a hassle to go through in order to completely reload the device's iOS software. It would be much better if a binary compiled - version of the software could be included in the utilities package. + version of the software (idevicerestore and libirecovery) could be + included in the utilities package. It would allow the Ubuntu user to be able to quickly and easily perform software update or device restore functions. Without the need for a virtual machine running a compatible version of Windows and iTunes etc. While also saving them from having to run Wine, its dependencies, iTunes and its own software requirements. All the would need is what is required to install idevicerestore and run its actions (the appropriate iOS release download image file). Running Ubuntu 16.04.3 libimobiledevice-utils 1.2.0+dfsg-3~ubuntu0.2 installed
