Following the instructions on their wiki (http://sourceforge.net/p/peerguardian/wiki/pgl-Install-DebianUbuntu/), I run into this error that it cannot find any of the PG programs to install. What am I doing wrong, how do I install PeerGuardian?

odroid@odroid:~$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jre-phoenix/ppa

[sudo] password for odroid: 

 This PPA provides offical packages of PeerGuardian Linux (pgl) for all supported Ubuntu series. This archive enhances http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net, where I offer Debian packages for the current Debian series.



PeerGuardian Linux (pgl) is a privacy oriented firewall application. It blocks connections to and from hosts specified in huge blocklists (thousands or millions of IP ranges). Its origin seeds in targeting aggressive IPs while you use P2P. PeerGuardian Linux is actively developed. However the team is very small and with few spare time. Contributors are welcome! Check out http://peerguardian.sourceforge.net.



For Ubuntu hardy you will find the precessors of pgl here: nfblock/moblock, blockcontrol and mobloquer. They aren't developed any more.

[I'm the maintainer of said ppa]:

When Launchpad builds a source package in a PPA, it creates binaries for i386 (x86) and amd64, but not for arm. (Source: help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA).

But there is a possibility to request community arm builds (dev.launchpad.net/CommunityARMBuilds), which I just did: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/261099

So hopefully they will show up soon, just check that link.

EDIT 2015-01-25: armhf packages are now available for Vivid, Utopic and Trusty. Other dists will follow. Just drop me a mail if there are any further issues.

Generally:
You can check the "Packages" file of the ppa for your arch to see if there are packages available. E.g. the following file is empty (=no packages currently for pgl on arm64):
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jre-phoenix/ppa/ubuntu/dists/trusty/main/binary-arm64/Packages

btw the original answer by Oli was wrong (still a big thank you and muru for the continued participation in this thread): the packages are indeed called pgld, pglcmd and pglgui. So the apt-get install command was correct. Only the source package is called pgl.
