This is really quite old. Ada 2012 features won't be as well implemented
as newer releases.

This is fine so long as you use Ubuntu-provided packages.

Debian maintainers created what they hoped would be a standard
filesystem layout for Ada. Unfortunately, AdaCore didn't follow it, so
there's perennial difficulty mixing Debian and AdaCore packages.

Building an AdaCore-provided package in this environment will result in
its components (e.g. GPRs) being installed in a place that the compiler
won't be looking for.

If you can install GNAT CE 2019 in this environment, that would probably
work much better. And include GPS.
