I'm grateful for the help I've been getting, and I'm sorry that I 
couldn't find the resolution on the internet. I came here as a last resort.

I've never had apps just be removed without any notification before. 
Even when a ppa doesn't support an app any more it doesn't remove it 
from the system. In my experience it just doesn't update.

I'm lost and frustrated. From the instructions above I get a message 
that tells me that deb-src command not found.

The error messages that I'm getting are meaningless to me. When I put 
them in my messages I'm told that the error messages are no good.

Thanks;
