I know that sourceforge doesnt have the best security track record Is it safe thought to use the dmd ubuntu repository hosted there [code] sudo wget http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/project/d-apt/files/d-apt.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/d-apt.list wget -qO - https://dlang.org/d-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dmd-bin [/code]

It kept causing error messages in my package manager and I couldn't update it properly so I've just stuck to downloading the updates on release.

Use wget or curl to download the .deb right from the archive wget http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2018/dmd_2.080.0-0_i386.deb 2. Try to install it with dpkg dpkg -i dmd_2.080.0-0_i386.deb skip them. 3. Update your cache sudo apt-get update 4. Download the dependencies, if you need to. In my case, I needed libc6-dev and gcc, which you *would normally* install like so: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev gcc But I had errors when trying to do that, which were resolved by running: sudo apt --fix-broken install 5. Finally, run `dmd --version` to test that it works!On Sun, 2017-07-23 at 18:23 +0000, Michael via Digitalmars-d wrote:I stopped using it a while ago as it was constantly causing me problems with being unable to check for new package updates.
