Can't get latest Kstars/Ekos

Hi,
I seem to be frozen at Version 3.6.3 Stable. I've followed the instructions here , but no new version of Kstars ever shows up in my update manager. FWIW, here's my sources list:
$ more /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mutlaqja-ppa-focal.list 
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mutlaqja/ppa/ubuntu focal main
I've been running Kstars for years now and noticed this problem a while ago, but was not bothered because my telescope setup worked just fine. But I have new equipment now and I'm running into trouble, so now I really must update.
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried removing the PPA using sudo apt-add-repository remove <repository name>, running sudo apt update and then adding it back in?

Can you expand on that? The link says Ubuntu 18.04 and higher is supported. Are you talking about Kstars? INDI? What Ubuntu versions *are* supported?

Replied by nou on topic Can't get latest Kstars/Ekos

That link is bit outdated. It just that libraries and compiler is now too old to be able to compile latest KStars. So upgrade to 22.04 or wait a bit and upgrade stright to 24.04 that should be released in a week or so.
