Public bug reported:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04
$ apt-cache policy arduino
arduino:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 2:1.0.5+dfsg2-4.1
Version table:
2:1.0.5+dfsg2-4.1 500

I expected to be able to use the package in a familiar way without
having to update all the libraries and boards manually.
The package installed from the repo does not work with the installed
java and throws an exception.
java.lang.NullPointerException thrown while loading
gnu.io.RXTXCommDriver
While this can be worked around by installing Oracle Java 8, arduino
still cannot build projects made with later versions, due to missing
libraries and boards.
The latest version of arduino is tested and runs well on 18.xx
Is this package being maintained or does it need a new owner or
collaborator?
