apt not updating from desired source

Question

I'm trying to update my version of the skrooge software. This is normally done by retrieving the package from ppa:s-mankowski/ppa-kf5, which I have added to my sources list using sudo add-apt-repository ppa:s-mankowski/ppa-kf5.

When I perform a sudo apt update, I get the following results:

$ sudo apt update
Hit:1 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease
Hit:2 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-updates InRelease           
Hit:3 http://ppa.launchpad.net/s-mankowski/ppa-kf5/ubuntu focal InRelease   
Hit:4 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-backports InRelease 
Hit:5 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security InRelease

All packages are up to date.

As you can see, the mankowski link is in the results for being updated. However, check out the results from the following commands:

$ sudo apt-cache madison skrooge
   skrooge | 2.21.1-1build2 | http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages
$ sudo apt-cache policy skrooge
skrooge:
  Installed: 2.21.1-1build2
  Candidate: 2.21.1-1build2
  Version table:
 *** 2.21.1-1build2 500
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

How do I get apt to recognize my mankowski link and pull the skrooge 2.24.6 update from that?

UPDATE EDIT: Here is my normal upgrade line and the current result:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get clean

As can be seen, it doesn't want to update skrooge here, either.

Answer 1

After you ran sudo apt update (which updates the package cache), you need to run

sudo apt upgrade

to effectively upgrade the package.

In your case this does not help. The name of the package in the added repository is skrooge-kf5 and you'll need to explicitely install it with

sudo apt install skrooge-kf5
