MKVToolNix is a set of free and open source tools used to create, edit and inspect Matroska files (.mkv, .mk3d, .mka and .mks).
The MKVToolNix components consit of 4 command line tools:
For mkvmerge there's a Qt GUI available, which includes a chapter and header editor. The GUI also implements mkvinfo's and mkvpropedit's functionality and will evolve to cover mkvextract as well.

As a result, the repository configuration has changed, and if you've previously added the MKVToolNix repository, you'll have to change it.
Replace artful with xenial in the list file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (the file name depends on what you've named it), depending on the Ubuntu version you're using. The repository doesn't support Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver yet.
