#1008 Using install instructions from official page gives an error on Ubuntu: smplayer-skins is not available

[James Ingram]

I followed the instructions here:
https://www.smplayer.info/en/download-linux

I got an error:

desktop@DESKTOP:~$ sudo apt-get install smplayer smplayer-themes smplayer-skins

Package smplayer-skins is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'smplayer-skins' has no installation candidate

Removing smplayer-skins from the command seemed to install smplayer just fine.

Oh, I should add that I had run the previous commands in the instructions without issue.

Unrelated but the new version has gotten rid of a bug which has been, well, bugging me a lot! MJPG videos used to have a 5 second pause on loading (not a problem in VLC). That's totally gone now! So please high five all the relevant people. Like, line them up, and then run down the line with an outstretched hand, and smack palms with every single one!

Or give them tummy rubs. Either works. Source: my cat.
