Unable to install Alarm Clock Applet (Ubuntu 19.10)

The alarm-clock-applet package was dropped from Ubuntu after 19.04

Looking at the Debian package tracker page and the Ubuntu changelogs page, looks like this package was abandoned upstream several years ago.

Abandoned packages are not receiving maintenance, bugfixes, and security patches. They are routinely removed from Debian and Ubuntu. Removed packages can be re-added to Ubuntu if a volunteer steps forward to start maintaining the software again.

You can download the package from 19.04 at http://packages.ubuntu.com and use apt to install it.


I've installed it on Ubuntu 20. Steps:

  1. Download deb from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/a/alarm-clock-applet/alarm-clock-applet_0.3.4-1build1_amd64.deb
  2. Right click, Open With Software Install.
  3. Install
