Just FYI:

There is ( 0 ) upstream effort being expended on WSJT-X v1.1 thru 1.4, and major bug fixes only on v1.5.0, none of which are formally available to Debian/Ubuntu.

Due to a pending release of Hamlib(3), which is required for v1.5.0 and above, a new version of WSJT-X is not formally available for the repository yet, however, I do have packages available on Launchpad which should overt most of these issues. When Hamlib(3) is released and updated in the Debian/Ubunbtu repo's, we'll be able to update WSJT-X to a much improved version over what is available to the repo now.

In the interim, I would recommend using either v1.5.0 for production and / or v1.6.0 for testing. You can use / test the following PPA's as you see fit:

WSJT-X v1.5.0 - ( latest upstream GA release )
https://launchpad.net/~ki7mt/+archive/ubuntu/wsjtx

WSJT-X v1.6.0 - ( current development focus, but fairly stable )
https://launchpad.net/~ki7mt/+archive/ubuntu/wsjtx-next

WSJT-X v1.6.1 - ( experimental testing )
https://launchpad.net/~ki7mt/+archive/ubuntu/wsjtx-exp
