Error when trying to install PCL1.9 from PPA

Hi,

I'm trying to install the the PCL archive from this PPA, but I'm getting the following error:

Any help would be much appreciated

I think it's because I'm using focal and the PPA only supports bionic. I suppose I'll have to build from source instead?

I think it's because I'm using focal and the PPA only supports bionic.

That might be the case. If you're on Focal, the distributed version of libpcl-dev (1.10) works fine with this repository. No need to build or install PCL 1.9 specifically.

I'm going to close this issue since it's related to the PPA and not to this repository specifically. Feel free to continue the discussion though
