Short of building from source, is there a link anywhere for upgrading 
from 4.2 to the next compatible stable version on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS?  The 
Debian list is too far behind since I run multiple O.S.'s.  I tried the 
suggested PPA, I think it was sicklylife something or other for 4.3. 
Totally screwed up a test set of books that I use just to test new 
versions before I turn it loose on my multiple sets of books for 
family.  It would be nice to run the same working versions on my Ubuntu 
Server (Micro$soft bricked my main server and had to replace it, so I am 
migrating everything I can to Ubuntu) and my dual boot laptop.

I have tried several times to build from source but; I am too old school 
on my programming language list (i.e. Cobol, Pascal, forth) to get a 
build to work.  Every time I have tried it spits out in a foreign 
language some error list and fails to build.  My bad.

You would think that someone who wrote over 100,000 lines of C++ code to 
handle up to 2 billion inventory items for a POS and parts ordering 
system at best cost could easily handle this, but the languages you use 
are all too new to me.

I would settle for a copy of "Building the Newest Version of GNC for 
Dummies Course" book.
