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
