I downloaded avro_2.1-3_all.deb from this page, but when I tried to install it I found that it depends on the ibus-qt4 package which is not available in the Ubuntu 19.04 archive.

How can I install Avro on Ubuntu 19.04?

  • @HattinGokbori87: Possibly. But suggesting that people install packages from 18.10, as is done in the accepted answer, is not a nice solution. I saw that you mentioned my PPA in an own answer, but didn't mention that installing `avro_2.0-1_all.deb` is an option. – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jun 23 '19 at 14:17
  • Edited that answer to clarify that installing from the PPA is comparatively better. I didn't mentioned version 2.0.1 as it contains some more bugs. – HattinGokbori87 Jun 23 '19 at 14:38
  • @HattinGokbori87: Ok, no big deal. It's true that `2.0-1` does not include the ibus dependencies, but that "Arabic" bug is history (only affected a couple of Ubuntu versions which are now EOL). – Gunnar Hjalmarsson Jun 23 '19 at 15:05

Avro Phonetic has now been made available to Ubuntu users via an official package.

To install it:

sudo apt install ibus-avro

It does not have that ibus-qt4 dependency. ibus-avro in the Ubuntu archive installs the latest upstream software, including a bugfix which is important to Ubuntu users.
