Hi Jeff, you have two viable options, build from sources, or wait for the package maintainers to make WSJT-X 2.2.0 available for your distribution version. We, the WSJT-X development team, only build a single package targeted at one commonly used distribution version. Currently Ubuntu 20.4.0 has no easy upgrade path, nor are users of earlier versions informed that there is an upgrade available. That happens at the .1 release when we will switch to building our release package targeting 20.04.1 LTS. Building from sources is not hard, much easier than the option many will suggest of installing packages like libgfortran3 on a system that comes with libgfortran5. 73 Bill G4WJS.
