    how to install a ppa package by apt

    I like to resolve depencies by

    @Artemis:~/kicad$ sudo apt-get build-dep kicad-dev-nightly
    Reading package lists... Done
    E: Unable to find a source package for kicad-dev-nightly

    Before I installed the ppa by
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-dev-nightly

    It appears in the Software&Update Other Tab while apt complains about no source package

    The ppa contains no such package as kicad-dev-nightly
    There is
    kicad-nightly
    kicad-nightly-dbg
    kicad-nightly-demos
    Splat Double Splat Triple Splat

    Did you refresh all the packages after adding the new PPA?
    Code:
    sudo apt update

    Many thx. Update was done and kicad-nightly instead kicad-dev-nightly works correct.
    I wonder about that before 18.04LTS accepted the kicad-dev-nightly package name.
    Version now is 19.10 Desktop
