Hi,
I’m trying to install Tribler 7.0.2 on Ubuntu 14.04LTS. If I search on Ubuntu’s own Software Centre the version of Tribler available is 6.2.0 which I presume is old so instead I downloaded the .deb for 7.0.2 and followed the install instructions. The installation fails though due to missing dependencies which are not resolved by apt-get install -f. The following shows the missing dependencies:
dpkg -i tribler_7.0.2_all.deb
Selecting previously unselected package tribler.

When I try to manually install the missing packages they can not be found:
sudo apt-get install libsodium18
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Package libsodium18 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package ‘libsodium18’ has no installation candidate
sudo apt-get install libsodium13

So, what’s going on here ? Does tribler depend on packages from special repositories ?
Thanks,
