Is this an easy fix?

@stof commented on GitHub (Aug 11, 2021):

I think the reason is that there has been no asciinema release after the Focal release.

If there is something pending release, the easy fix for the maintainers is probably to make a new release. Otherwise, there might be a way to rebuild the existing release for Focal in the PPA, but I don't know how (I'm not maintaining any PPA myself, so I don't know exactly what's possible on the platform).

Trying to install asciicinema and I hit this:

$sudo apt update

I'm not maintaining this PPA nor any other packages, sorry. (other than publishing new versions to pypi.org).
Please reach out to the author of this PPA or open an issue in Ubuntu bugtracker. Thx!

@sickill Do you know who is responsible for the installation instructions on asciicinema.org? The PPA is listed there, which I suppose is why we all came here to report it.

The PPA should probably just be removed from that list if no one is maintaining it.

Aha, got it. The instructions on asciinema.org come from asciinema-server repo. I'll remove PPA from there then.
