Due to major bugs on QGIS 3.18 I am forced to install the LTR version. But the official instructions here (https://www.qgis.org/de/site/forusers/alldownloads.html) do only explain how to install the latest version.

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.

Update: I followed the advice below and continued installation, now I got this:

sudo apt install qgis qgis-plugin-grass

  • That's not correct. The download page contains the LTR repository as well as the latest – user2856 Apr 08 '21 at 03:44

in line

sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://qgis.org/ubuntu $(lsb_release -c -s) main"

sudo add-apt-repository "deb https://qgis.org/ubuntu-ltr $(lsb_release -c -s) main"
