Hello jy,

This doesn't apply to the Tango Studio repositories, those are Lucid 
only. And Lucid being an LTS release doesn't mean PPA's have to support 
it, when it comes to PPA's you have to deal with the whims of the 
maintainers of those PPA's. I never enable any PPA or repository unless 
I'm 100% sure a repository won't break anything or remains maintained 
for a longer period of time. Needless to say I've never enabled any 
KXStudio or FalkTX PPA, I only installed some separate packages, 
actually very few packages because most of those packages depend on 
newer libraries or stuff that isn't in Lucid (like Jack2).

Best,

Jeremy
