I stopped using it a while ago as it was constantly causing me problems with being unable to check for new package updates. It was right when sourceforge was issuing security warnings and I couldn't be bothered to try and deal with it. Just following up on this, because I had the same problem: 1. Use wget or curl to download the .deb right from the archive wget http://downloads.dlang.org/releases/2018/dmd_2.080.0-0_i386.deb 2. Try to install it with dpkg dpkg -i dmd_2.080.0-0_i386.deb ### If you experience errors, add the following steps. If not, skip them. 3. Update your cache sudo apt-get update 4. Download the dependencies, if you need to. In my case, I needed libc6-dev and gcc, which you *would normally* install like so: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev gcc But I had errors when trying to do that, which were resolved by running: sudo apt --fix-broken install ### 5. Finally, run `dmd --version` to test that it works!

Ubuntu yes, but not others. I think D-Apt should be hosted at dlang.org.
