Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is, IMHO, is royal piece of crap. Ubuntu seems to have abandoned programmers tools almost completely in 18.04. I���ve had more problems with support of programming tools in 18.04, more than even Windows. I have run ���sudo apt install��� maybe 80 times to install tools and libraries. Ubuntu 18.04���s hardware support is also lame compared to 16.04.
Personally , I���m not surprised that Pharo doesn���t run on 18.04. I stopped installing 18.04 on my new machines, after all 16.04 still has a few years of support going for it, and at least it works without hours of upgrading.
