Merge #15518: doc: Remove ppa from linux build instructions
fa3148aacbea0e1a0ba8016b66b8d6b876c267b2 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

Ubuntu and Debian have their own libdb-dev and libdb++-dev packages, but these will install
BerkeleyDB 5.1 or later. This will break binary wallet compatibility with the distributed executables, which
are based on BerkeleyDB 4.8. If you do not care about wallet compatibility,
pass `--with-incompatible-bdb` to configure.
+Otherwise, you can build from self-compiled `depends` (see above).
