Today I've migrated onto Lubuntu 18.04 from Ubuntu 16.04. Got a lot of scripts that use pdftk tool. But now I can't install it either with apt-get or with synaptic. Tried to install from deb - got a lot of unresolved dependencies, --fix-broken just deletes it.

Is there any effective way to get this tool installed?

  • Where did you get the deb from? AFAICT, Bionic does not carry pdftk at this time: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pdftk. Have you tried compiling from source? There's something here: https://www.pdflabs.com/tools/pdftk-server/ – DK Bose Apr 19 '18 at 15:00
  • Got deb for artful, thought it have a chance to be compatible. Looks like "no". – Lorrey Apr 20 '18 at 05:53
  • When trying to make from source it says that I'm need to install gcj-jdk, but it seems like there is no version for 18.04. Is it any hope that it will be available later? – Lorrey Apr 20 '18 at 06:47
  • Please mark pdftk missing in bionic as "affects me too". Note that you need to sign into Launchpad to do so. – DK Bose Apr 20 '18 at 14:54
