package management - RabbitVCS on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS


Recently I installed Ubuntu 16.04, and I would like to install RabbitVCS on my system.


I already add the PPA and apt update and seem no build yet for xenial



  1. http://ppa.launchpad.net/rabbitvcs/ppa/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-amd64/Packages

  2. http://ppa.launchpad.net/rabbitvcs/ppa/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/binary-i386/Packages


How to contact the maintainer? Does anyone have working deb file?



The rabbitvcs package is within the official repositories so remove the ppa's again and make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list looks like this. Then do:


sudo apt-get install rabbitvcs*

If you run into following error:


IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/username/.config/rabbitvcs/settings.conf

simply correct the permissions by :


sudo chown "$USER" .config/rabbitvcs -R
