      Seems to work, but I’m only getting 1.34. I was hoping for 1.35. Just keep waiting, or build it from source?

      Thanks for this tutorial. Tried to run it, but something seems to be broken. Please, see below:

      $ sudo apt-get install geany geany-plugins-common
      Reading package lists… Done
      Building dependency tree
      Reading state information… Done
      Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
      requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
      distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
      or been moved out of Incoming.
      The following information may help to resolve the situation:

      The following packages have unmet dependencies:
      geany : Depends: geany-common (= 1.32-2) but 1.34.1-1~14.04 is to be installed
      E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
