[llvm-dev] LLVM 5.0 & 6.0 Ubuntu packages are broken/unstable

[Mani Sarkar via llvm-dev]

Hi,

*Forgive me if I'm writing to an incorrect mailing list and if that's the
case I'd like to know where to post the below message (or if you could be
kind enough to forward it there).*

I'm working on the Graal/GraalVM project and till recently I didn't have
any issues installing LLVM 6.0 packages via the instructions on
https://apt.llvm.org/, but since recently it has started to become
unstable, see my build logs at
https://gist.github.com/neomatrix369/5045c2e50a958105df1de2955e67f379.

I get a similar message for installing LLVM 6.0, my installation script is
here -
https://github.com/neomatrix369/awesome-graal/blob/build-graalvm-suite/build/x86_64/linux_macos/installLLVM.sh
.

There are also inaccuracies on https://apt.llvm.org/, - not all of the
packages get installed, see the last line of the log, it can't find few
packages (see link above).

I could go thru the simple method of just downloading the prebuilt binaries
at http://releases.llvm.org/ but I like installing it via the Ubuntu
package manager.

Which method would you recommend, and is it possible to quickly fix the
instructions on the https://apt.llvm.org/ to help everyone out?

Cheers,
Mani
