But .... (and I'm truly sorry if you didn't realize this before) ... Sigil is in the standard repos starting with Xenial (16.04). You don't have to build it. Just "sudo apt-get install sigil".
I just figured you wanted to build it.

You don't have anything to be sorry about. You didn't do anything wrong. Sigil is open source and free, so I appreciate the work you are all putting into it. The comment about having a Sigil PPA is just a request; something that hopefully you might consider doing in the future to make it easier for users who don't know how to compile Sigil to use your program.

I just checked Synaptic; there is no package with the word "sigil" in it. However, I can think of one way I could have missed it. Between Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04, there was a major change in Synaptic; the quick filter disappeared. To bring it back, I ran the following commands:
sudo apt-get install apt-xapian-index
sudo update-apt-xapian-index -vf
One problem I noticed, however, is that the quick filter's results aren't up to date. Even running sudo apt-get update isn't enough; I have to run that second line (sudo update-apt-xapian-index -vf) in order to get all the newest packages to show up.
Is there any way I can update the xapian index automatically at regular intervals? (Once per restart is good enough). I've tried editing /etc/rc.local and /etc/init.d/rc.local start and running a test program at startup, but the program didn't appear to run even after I added some sleep time before the command.
I can run sudo update-apt-xapian-index -vf manually now, but if this is really the problem (I'll report back with the results soon), I'm just leaving the problem for some future date.
