I tried to update kicad 5.0.2 to kicad 5.1 by following js-reynaud’s
instructions at https://launchpad.net/~js-reynaud/+archive/ubuntu/kicad-5.1
and FAILED.
[code]root@solydk1:/home/user# add-apt-repository ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1
This PPA host version of KiCad 5.1
To use it:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install kicad
to have a full install:
sudo apt install --install-suggests kicad
If you don’t do a “full installation” you should be interested to install also:
- kicad-libraries: a virtual package that will recommend you to install footprints, symbols, templates and 3D
- kicad-symbols, kicad-templates, kicad-footprints, kicad-packages3d: if you want to manually select what library to install.
- kicad-locale-XX: locales for your language (XX is your contry code. see apt search kicad-locale to find available languages)
- kicad-doc-XX: documentation in your language. Same remark than kicad-locale-XX
** If you are using daily build AND want to stay in 5.1: **
You must remove daily build ppa from your sources and remove any existing kicad packages before installing any 5.1 version.
Keep in mind that daily build package will be always more recent than any release packages.

So this didn’t work on debian stretch. (No, it’s not an ubuntu derivative.)
Did I (a) forget to do something important first that prevented this technique from
working? or (b) is there something else wrong?
This is only the second time I have used (tried to use) a PPA, so maybe I goofed.
I used su rather than sudo.
I did not cd after logging in as superuser. Would that make a difference ?
Not sure if this is correct, since it says ubuntu:
[code]user@solydk1:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/js-reynaud-ubuntu-kicad-5_1-disco.list.save
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/js-reynaud/kicad-5.1/ubuntu disco main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/js-reynaud/kicad-5.1/ubuntu disco main
user@solydk1:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/js-reynaud-ubuntu-kicad-5_1-disco.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/js-reynaud/kicad-5.1/ubuntu disco main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/js-reynaud/kicad-5.1/ubuntu disco main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/js-reynaud/kicad-5.1/ubuntu disco main
[/code]
So I still have 5.0.2 installed on 4-core x86_64. Any ideas ?
