I am trying to install a newer version on my Ubuntu 18.04, but it somehow doesn't let me. The version I have installed and that is natively available from the repos is 17.12.3. I want to upgrade to 19.12.3 to open a project file from a friend. In order to do that, I added the launchpad ppa of kdenlive to my system:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable
 Enjoy latest Kdenlive release!
 More informations: https://launchpad.net/~kdenlive/+archive/ubuntu/kdenlive-stable
press Enter to continue or Ctrl-C to cancel the adding

OK:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/freecad-maintainers/freecad-stable/ubuntu bionic InRelease

OK:8 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-backports InRelease
OK:9 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease
Reading package lists…Done

But after that, I still have only the old version available:

$ apt-cache madison kdenlive
  kdenlive | 4:17.12.3-0ubuntu1 | http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages

What can I do ?

You say 18.04, but you have Debian experimental in there. [FrankenDebians](https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian/) are nothing but trouble.

As above. And the PPA you added have no content for 18.04 anyway.

@muru the experimental suite was added by hand directly in the repo source file - I wanted to try out the newest Gtk packages.

@ChanganAuto So I have no chance of getting kdenlive=19.12.3 installed with apt ?

It doesn't matter whether you added it by hand or by command, it's all going to be a mess anyway.

@muru so removing that experimental suite would fix you think ? Well, anyways I don't need it anymore, so I'll try it !

I removed the experimental suite, but it didn't change anything - apt-cache madison still shows only the 17 version :(( ?!?!

Does this answer your question? [Recommended way to install Kdenlive on Ubuntu 18.04](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1056373/recommended-way-to-install-kdenlive-on-ubuntu-18-04) . Also run `sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:kdenlive/kdenlive-stable` to remove unnecessary PPA without packages for 18.04 (bionic).

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
