Cannot install BytecoinWallet.deb

  • 772

I downloaded the latest BytecoinWallet but for some reason it doesn't want to install.

At first I gave it perms with:

chmod 755 BytecoinWallet-1.0.11.amd64.deb

After that I tried to install it with:

sudo dpkg -i BytecoinWallet-1.0.11.amd64.deb

And the output:

After that i tried to fix it with:

sudo apt-get install -f

It didn't fix it.

apt

    You might note that that particular version is smaller than all other releases by several megabytes so I suspect a faulty archive at the developer's end.

    • BytecoinWallet-1.0.11.amd64.deb is 539.9kb
    • BytecoinWallet-1.0.10.amd64.deb is 3.2MB

    Here is a screenshot of the SourceForge download page to show this:

    Good news is that the slightly older version seems to install fine:

    wget --content-disposition \
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bytecoin-bcn/files/BytecoinWallet/BytecoinWallet-1.0.10.amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i BytecoinWallet-1.0.10.amd64.deb

    But I have not tested the application itself, only the install process:

    andrew@athens:~$ bytecoinwallet --version
bytecoinwallet 1.0.10
