So what.  Ubuntu _explicitly_ makes "universe" available as an aid to those
who want it.  They do not maintain universe.

No, you're whining about a problem that is not Ubuntu's responsibility.  If
you want long term support for Word Press, lobby Ubuntu to include it or
use a distro that does.

I'm saying that you told a user that _he_ was wrong for expecting
recognizable results from a command, and never bothered to show him where
he was wrong.

As they should.  Ubuntu devs don't maintain universe.  If you have an issue
you think is important, you need to contact the maintainers.
