Thanks, but I probably failed to make something clear. The above worked
fine for me, but it gives me access to 1.5.0 trunk. That is not what I
want. I want just 1.4.3. My Xubuntu 13.10 has only 1.4.2 in the repos,
not the latest stable 1.4.3.
I also failed to grasp something about my old computer. Indeed, it does
have 1.4.3 installed, but it also does have the
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/scribus/ppa/ubuntu precise main
repo properly installed with the key. So that is how I installed 1.4.3
on 12.04.
I tried to install the above repo on my new 13.10 computer by editing
"precise" to "saucy," and it worked, but I can't get the key because
the server does not respond.
