## Ubuntu Pro

While Ubuntu 18.04 LTS went end-of-life in May 2023, an [Ubuntu Pro](https://ubuntu.com/pro) subscription can be used to get security updates for a further 5 years. This is free for personal use for up to 5 machines and the process is documented in a [Tutorial](https://ubuntu.com/pro/tutorial). Before you run the `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` commands, you should first
```
sudo apt-mark hold gpg-agent
```

After rebooting, you may get the error "gpg-preset-passphrase: caching passphrase failed: Not supported". Here you will need to re-install gpg-agent manually, in a similar way to how it is originally installed in the [install-mosrs](install-mosrs.sh) script:
```
sudo apt-get remove -q -y --auto-remove --purge gpg-agent
curl -L -s -S https://www.gnupg.org/ftp/gcrypt/gnupg/gnupg-2.0.31.tar.bz2 | tar -xj
cd gnupg-2.0.31/
./configure CFLAGS="-fcommon"
make
sudo make install
```
