I've decided to make a wallet trough Armory so I can transfer Bitcoins to cold storage, so I went to install Armory.

Now, Armory installed all well and good and than asked me to install PPAs, which I followed the install procedure. Then I got an error.

I was saying that qt4 based programs are needed along with python-qt4 for armory, the dependencies. Now I tried this to resolve them:

sudo apt-get check

This is what I get:

lipovi@lipovi:~$ sudo apt-get check
[sudo] password for lipovi:

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.

Then I tried this:

sudo apt-get -f install

This is what it prints out:

Whatever I do, it won't resolve it.

Now, I would really nicely ask if someone had this problem and, by chance, offer a solution, I'd be really grateful.

The coins are on my phone I would like to move them as soon as possible from it.

P.S. Don't ask for them......

  • 1) What version of Ubuntu are you running 2) How did you install Armory?

  • 1) Ubuntu 12.04 2) Went to the Armory website, downloaded tar.gz, un-packed it and followed the installation instructions on the website.

  • Why did you download the tar.gz instead of the .deb files for 12.04? bitcoinarmory.com/download
    – pzkpfw

  • That's the site I've downloaded the packed .deb files. They are all in that tar.gz file.

  • There are tar.gz files under the Linux logo (Tux, the penguin), and under the Ubuntu logo there are DEB-files. I suspect you downloaded the tar.gz files without really having to, making this unnecessarily complicated. Anyway, I see you have resolved this by reinstalling the packages :)

Try the below commands on terminal to force remove all the unconfigured packages,

sudo dpkg -P --force-all --force-remove-reinstreq libqt4-designer
sudo dpkg -P --force-all --force-remove-reinstreq libqt4-help
sudo dpkg -P --force-all --force-remove-reinstreq libqt4-scripttools
sudo dpkg -P --force-all --force-remove-reinstreq libqt4-test
sudo dpkg -P --force-all --force-remove-reinstreq python-qt4
sudo dpkg -P --force-all --force-remove-reinstreq armory

Then try to install all the packages via apt-get,

sudo apt-get install libqt4-designer
sudo apt-get install libqt4-help
sudo apt-get install libqt4-scripttools
sudo apt-get install libqt4-test
sudo apt-get install python-qt4
sudo apt-get install armory

    This worked like a charm! No dependencies left, now I can install Armory again without being blocked by something missing. You're a life saver, man!
