I stopped using it. 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.

I think it would be better to have a PPA that is hosted on launchpad

Launchpad is not a place Debian and Mint folk think of going is it? Ubuntu yes, but not others. I think D-Apt should be hosted at dlang.org.

I stopped using it a while ago as it was constantly causing me problems with being unable to check for new package updates. It was right when sourceforge was issuing security warnings and I couldn't be bothered to try and deal with it.

Just following up on this, because I had the same problem: 1. 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!
