Usually GNU/Linux distros don't provide linuxsampler by official
repositories.

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ pacman -Si linuxsampler | head -7
Repository      : community
Name            : linuxsampler
Version         : 2.0.0-4
Description     : Professional-grade audio sampler alternative to
Gigasampler Architecture    : x86_64
URL             : http://www.linuxsampler.org/
Licenses        : GPL  custom:exception

Distros often have issues with the "exception".

The suggested package isn't available:

https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/qsampler
http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/xenial/qsampler
