I just upgraded to 16.04 today and I can't seem to install krita. It was installed before but has disappeared. I can't find it in either lubuntu or ubuntu software centres, the versions there are 2.9.7. I do have the dimula73 ppa installed.
I tried following the steps listed on the download page, but am greeted with this:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install krita-2.9

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help resolve the situation:

             Recommends: krita-2.9-l10n but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Apparently there's a dependency that can't be installed, maybe it's not updated to 16.04 version yet?
Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah... Ubuntu really sort of sucks. They carry an ancient version of Krita, and broke our PPA. Your best bet right now is to use the 3.0 beta. It's available in the ppa or as an appimage.

That's a bit of a drag. I'll give the beta a shot.
Thanks
