i'm trying to install armory on ubuntu 12.04 but it is not working:
$ sudo dpkg -i armory_0.88.1-beta_i386.deb
Selecting previously unselected package armory:i386.
(Reading database ... 222699 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking armory:i386 (from armory_0.88.1-beta_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of armory:i386:
armory:i386 depends on python-qt4.
armory:i386 depends on python-twisted.
armory:i386 depends on python-psutil.

Errors were encountered while processing:
armory:i386
it looked like i needed to install packages python-qt4
, python-twisted
and python-psutil
so i did this:
$ sudo apt-get install python-qt4 python-twisted python-psutil

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
armory:i386 : Depends: python-qt4:i386 but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-twisted:i386 but it is not installable
Depends: python-psutil:i386 but it is not going to be installed
python-qt4 : Depends: libqtassistantclient4 (>= 4.6.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: sip-api-8.1
python-twisted : Depends: python-twisted-conch (>= 1:11.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-twisted-mail (>= 11.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-twisted-lore (>= 11.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-twisted-news (>= 11.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-twisted-runner (>= 11.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python-twisted-words (>= 11.0) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
for some reason they did not want to install so i did this: (was this a bad move?)
$ sudo apt-get -f install
and after a massive amount of output in which it looked like many packages were removed??? nothing happened. armory still won't run and now i think i have screwed up some other valid packages since i have a lot of empty links with question marks on my unity bar. even the vim
configuration file seems to have been altered!
help!
(i should also mention that i recently upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 and that may not have gone too smoothly for bitcoind)
You have screwed your system. Now, consider the effort of bringing it back to a functioning state against reinstalling it. Whatever you choose, backup all the important stuff previously, if you haven't already. – dawud – 2013-09-21T09:15:45.137
yeah. i'm backing everything up and installing debian 7 instead. i think the thing that broke it is that i forgot my pc is 64bit (its really old so i assumed 32bit) and i tried to install the 32bit armory :( – mulllhausen – 2013-09-22T06:11:20.693
