For example the only available version of the password store tool <em>pass</em> for Ubuntu LTS 14.04 (trusty) is <em><a href="https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/admin/pass">1.4.2-3</a></em>. If you need a newer version you have to update Ubuntu first. Usually this no big deal, however, if you work with Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) it is a big deal. The WSL release is bound to the Windows version. In result to update a package you have to update your Windows first.</p>
