  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc-9.0

Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~jonathonf/ubuntu/gcc-9.0'.
The user named '~jonathonf' has no PPA named 'ubuntu/gcc-9.0'. This problem may be solved by

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc

I have add new source to source.list and add apt-repo as /binary_function_similarity/Binaries/Compilation scripts/README.md said. However, when i run

 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install `cat os_install_packages/ubuntu1804/package_list`

lots of package unable to located.

Hi @NotTheEndOfTheWorld ,

First of all thanks for pointing out that ppa:jonathonf/gcc-9.0 does no longer work and that ppa:jonathonf/gcc is the correct one. We will update the documentation accordingly.

I have tried to reproduce this error but I haven't been able to. To be more specific, I have started a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 from an image of 18.04.3 (the one that was available on my disk at the moment).

First, I have upgraded all the packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

And rebooted the system afterwards.

Once done, I have followed the steps in https://github.com/Cisco-Talos/binary_function_similarity/tree/main/Binaries/Compilation%20scripts

The only problem I have seen is that this command (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc
) triggers an update (sudo apt-get update) which will fail since the corresponding key for george-edison55's ppa has not been added yet.

If you add the key, and then run again:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc

Then the rest of the install process works just fine.

Could you also confirm what specific ISO you used to install Ubuntu 18.04?
