Hi Wayne,

>From the page you linked, 18.04 is not a supported system and has never
been supported for v6.  We had decided some time ago that we would support
Ubuntu LTS versions for 1 year after the release of the next LTS [1].

Jean-Samuel, you may be able to use the mhier PPA[2] as the source for
newer Boost versions that will allow KiCad on older Ubuntus.
