After installing saods9 on Ubuntu 18.04, I tried running
$ ds9 &
And recieved:
Error in startup script: can't find package xml
while executing
"package require xml"
("x11" arm line 10)
invoked from within
"switch $ds9(wm) {
x11 {
# set to absolute path so that if -cd command is used,
# so we can still find our files
set ds9(root) [file normalize [..."
(file "/usr/share/saods9/library/ds9.tcl" line 178)
Help?

see this link, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/saods9/+bug/1782692 or this Can't find package xml while executing. Xubuntu 16.04 possibly, if you try "sudo ds9" then you can open the software.
