I just made a clean install of Ubuntu 13.04.

I tried to install Sigil, but couldn't do it :(

I don't see what I can do wrong. I followed the instruction as specified http://handytutorial.com/install-sigil-epub-editor-in-ubuntu-12-10-12-04-from-ppa/.

i.e.,


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rgibert/ebook
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sigil


I got the following error:


E: Unable to locate package sigil


If I check the package at http://ppa.launchpad.net/rgibert/ebook/ubuntu/
I see that there is a package defined for raring.

I made some tries with the GUI, but was not more successful.

Any help would be appreciated

Frank

add-apt-repository have set that ppa to "raring", BUT looking at it, the newest it has is "oneiric" (quite old, meaning not maintained)

either change the distro inside synaptic for that ppa, or use an other one, like : https://launchpad.net/~sunab/+archive/sigil-git
