I have inkscape 0.48 installed and I'm trying to install inkscape 0.91 on the site they provide me with these commands

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install inkscape

When I enter the 1st line of commands it comes up with this

You are about to add the following PPA to your system:
 The Inkscape Stable PPA is intended to provide the current supported release of Inkscape.

What do I need to change so that the pc accepts the ppa?

    Put the output of apt-get update as an edit. The full output. And tell us what OS you are using.

As @ThomasW. said

we see a PPA 404 stating the PPAs 404 on Debian Wheezy checks to try and find Debian packages.

Debian Wheezy is off-topic here.

Therefore the following solutions only works with Ubuntu systems



There is no problem. The PPA is added and the public key is imported.

Update the package information

sudo apt-get update

Install inkscape with

sudo apt-get install inkscape

Or upgrade your system if inkscape is already installed

sudo apt-get upgrade

  • @DewaldEsterhuysen you are trying to mix an Ubuntu PPA with Debian based on the error you posted (404). PPAs are for Ubuntu Only not Debian. – Thomas W. Jun 7, 2015 at 13:13

Based on comments made by the OP on other answers (see this), we see a PPA 404 stating the PPAs 404 on Debian Wheezy checks to try and find Debian packages.

That suggests the original poster is using Debian, not Ubuntu.

PPAs from Launchpad will only support Ubuntu, and there is no Debian support currently. Don't try and mix Launchpad / Ubuntu PPAs and Debian.

You will need a Debian solution (check Debian Unstable for packages possibly) or you will have to build from source.
