> May you confirm? WHY this occurred? Just out of curiosity... This Ubuntu package was synced from Debian, and was removed from the Debian repositories in 2016 (https://bugs.debian.org/827248). It was subsequently removed from Ubuntu as well, following suit, because we do not keep packages in Ubuntu that have no maintainer. (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/root-system/+publishinghistory) I don't have any specific knowledge of this software so I can't say what the best solution is for users who have need of it. In principle it would be possible for someone (perhaps upstream) to provide a snap package which would be installable on Ubuntu 18.04. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
