If there are dependencies that are no longer available in newer versions of Debian, then they'll be added to the Koha apt repository, I reckon.

I had to install first sudo apt-get install libmarc-record-perl which was a dependency for one of the above, then: sudo dpkg -i libmarc-charset-perl_1.35-2_amd64.deb libmarc-xml-perl_1.0.3-1_all.deb and eventually sudo apt-get install koha-common Leaving all the configuration which I had performed before removing Koha (i.e. everything in /etc/koha/sites/myinstancename , /usr/share/koha/opac/htdocs , and of course the database itself; nothing of these were in fact affected by my sudo apt-get remove koha-common, as I had deliberately avoided to koha-remove any existing instance), and performing a rebuild and restart of the Zebra services: sudo koha-rebuild-zebra -f -v myinstancename sudo koha-restart-zebra myinstancename it seems that Koha 17.11.05.000 is working on Ubuntu 18.04 . I wonder at this point whether future updates will be consistently dealt with by apt-get ... Many thanks! Giuseppe.
