RE: How to Install a Gridcoin Wallet on a Raspberry Pi

[confuest]

Hi @roboticmind ,
I'm getting the following error after I write "sudo apt-get install gridcoinresearch-qt -y". I'd be really happy if you can help me for this issue:

"Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gridcoinresearch-qt : Depends: libboost-filesystem1.55.0 but it is not installable

@confuest,

Try running these commands again:
wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/118496707/libminiupnpc8_1.6-3ubuntu2_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i libminiupnpc8_1.6-3ubuntu2_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common -y
sudo apt-get install -f

Then run this command:
sudo apt-get install gridcoinresearch-qt -y -f

Let me know if that works!

I tried it at least four times but unfortunately I'm getting the same error.

@confuest,

Run this command and tell me what the output is:
cat /etc/*-release

This will help in trying to understand your problem

[confuest]

@roboticmind , the output is below

Try running these commands:
sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev -y
sudo apt-get install libssl1.0.2

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libz/libzip/libzip2_0.11.2-1.2_armhf.deb (all one line)

sudo dpkg -i libzip2_0.11.2-1.2_armhf.deb

Then run the command:
sudo apt-get install gridcoinresearch-qt -y

[confuest]

@roboticmind
For the libssl command it returns the output below:
"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libssl1.0.2 is already the newest version (1.0.2l-2).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 37 not upgraded."

AND at the end after typing "sudo apt-get install gridcoinresearch-qt -y" I got the output below:

"The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gridcoinresearch-qt : Depends: libboost-filesystem1.55.0 but it is not installable
