I recently upgraded my system from 18.something to 19.2 Tina. All went very well, apart from one problem that I've only just noticed... OpenSCAD has vanished, and I don't seem able to download it using apt or the synaptic package manager. This is software that I use a LOT!
Is this a known issue?
I know I could probably download the source and attempt to build it myself, but I'd much rather use an 'official and supported release.
Help would be appreciated.

Re: OpenSCAD missing after upgrade to Linux Mint 19.2 Tina
More information is needed. What exactly happens when you don't seem [to be] able to download it using apt or the synaptic package manager?

OK - due to desperation - my description was incomplete!
In synaptic the OpenSCAD package simply doesn't appear when I search for it. With apt it just comes back to say that the package can't be found (or words to that effect).
However, that link seems to be exactly what I need to move on, so many thanks for that.
