The cpu-g package started to download manually from ppa:cpug-devs/ppa when I tested it.– karelJul 11, 2016 at 0:16
Although i find that @nux gave the good answer, i have to indicate a simple way to install CPU-G for people without use of add-apt-repository utility. In that case the CPU-G sourceforge tarball or CPU-G deb download is a convenient way
