Known issues:

On Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) you'll probably get an error while trying to install bitcoind. The error message is the following:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
bitcoind : Depends: libgcc-s1 (>= 3.4) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Package libgcc-s1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

It seems like libgcc-s1 which is a focal (ubuntu 20.04, still in beta) package that has somehow crept in the bionic "food-chain", I'm working on a fix right now. Thanks to /u/xd1gital for the initial report.

Edit: to solve the problem please do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt update 
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo apt install bitcoind 

(*) due to fact we rebranded Ubuntua PPA name along with the name of the clients, you will be displayed with this warning and question to which you could safely reply "Yes":

E: Repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/bitcoin-unlimited/bucash/ubuntu bionic InRelease' changed its 'Label' value from 'BU Cash' to 'BCH Unlimited'
