According to the PPA it looks like: https://code.launchpad.net/~js-reynaud/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-kicad/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=artful kicad-library (not sure what this does) kicad-library-all (date of this is older than the packages, but I guess this is a meta package) kicad-library-footprints kicad-library-packages3d kicad-library-symbols kicad-library-templates While on the figure on your page I see: https://wiki.debian.org/KiCad kicad-libraries (meta package for footprint, symbols and templates) kicad-footprint kicad-packages3d kicad-symbols kicad-templates > > > kicad-library is a meta package.
