Thanks John!

I'd rather ask a dumb question than make a dumb mistake, especially
since Google produces all sorts of contradictory results on the subject:

Exactly what change do I make to /etc/apt/sources.list? Do I make that
change with a text editor? After making that change, exactly what
commands do I run? My suspicion would be apt-get update;apt-get
upgrade, but like I say, I'd rather ask a dumb question than make a
dumb mistake.

By the way, my plan B on this deal is installing Sigil 0.6.2, which
requires Qt4.8 or later, rather than Sigil 0.7.x, requiring Qt5. That's
what I'm doing right now, but of course I'd like the newer model :-)

Thanks!
