Cannot install on Ubunutu 18.04 iw version #178

When trying to install I get The following packages have unmet dependencies: linux-wifi-hotspot : Depends: iw (>= 5.4) Depends: iproute2 (>= 5.0) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. Trying to upgrade iw with sudo apt --only-upgrade install iw gives me iw is already the newest version (4.14-0.1). Which I think is the latest version of iw supported on Ubuntu 18.04. Is there any way around this without upgrading to 20.04?

Sorry for the inconvenience, You can always build the package from the source and install it. Follow the README for the steps. Or you can try uninstalling the iw and try to reinstall it with apt upate. This package worked for ubuntu 18.04 anyway.
