Merge #15518: doc: Remove ppa from linux build instructions
fa3148a doc: Remove ppa from linux build instructions (MarcoFalke) Pull request description: bdb (5.x) is provided by the vanilla Debian/Ubuntu package manager. If someone needs bdb4.8, they can use `./depends` or `./contrib/install_db4.sh`. I don't think we need a forth way to install bdb. Those ppa instructions only leads to confusion for debian users: Closes #3757 Tree-SHA512: 54620c28dfd63f0e30f1b0f4f4f4dcb66a5bbdd3ec60621860b005eee0a70fc6a5f3babdc5719ba5d3abda7fefc720eb1d8c70633b8a20a269ebc46e6206c781
