 Allure of the Stars is a near-future Sci-Fi roguelike and tactical
 squad game.
Description-md5: 0a946028a5d8b8dddf9a9291793b2236

Apt-cache show only "near-future Sci-Fi roguelike and tactical squad game".

According with dists directory on PPA package exist but packages information is missed(compare with package for trusty). I also don't see package in pool directory.

This issue sound's like already exist Support Ubuntu Bionic (18.04), but for me it's look like bug created by fix.

[v1-wizard]

IMHO: You should rename package to avoid problem with "near-future Sci-Fi roguelike and tactical squad game" =)

We got the same problem !!!

[kehao95]

How can I solve that? Is there a workaround?

[v1-wizard]

@kehao95, i did something like this stuff:

1. # cd /opt
2. # wget -c https://dl.bintray.com/qameta/generic/io/qameta/allure/allure/2.7.0/allure-2.7.0.tgz -O - | tar -xz && chmod +x /allure-2.7.0/bin/allure
3. # export PATH=$PATH:/opt/allure-2.7.0/bin"

qameta team doesn't maintain ppa and they have not created binary for ubuntu 17 or later.
https://launchpad.net/~qameta/+archive/ubuntu/allure

As @v1-wizard suggested, download binary directly from bintray qameta link. If you don't trust bintray, you can download binary directly from launchpad using direct link: https://launchpad.net/~qameta/+archive/ubuntu/allure/+sourcefiles/allure/2.4.1~xenial/allure_2.4.1~xenial.tar.gz

You can also look into doing some apt-get magic to force it to install package for unsupported ubuntu versions. I think it's possible.
