Cannot Install QCMA on Linux Mint 19 Cinnamon

[MinterTheMaladroit]

Hi,

I need to install a software called QCMA but I simply cannot even though I directly follow the instructions on the website.

When I attempt to install the deb package, I get "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libvitamtp5 (>= 2.5.5)".

I still cannot install it even I follow the second path ("Add repository and install manually"). When I run the command

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/codestation/xUbuntu_18.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:codestation.list"

, I get no feedback. After that, I run the following lines:

sudo apt-get update

,

sudo apt-get install qcma

. This time, I encounter this message:

E: Unable to locate package qcma

.

I'd really use some help,
Thank you.

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/codestation/xUbuntu_18.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:codestation.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qcma

3 separate commands....press enter after each one

Give it a try

EDIT...just noticed ...mine appears to whatever you already had.......did you enter them (COPY AND PASTE )separately and press Enter after each one ?

You may have to wait for someone better versed than me !

sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/codestation/xUbuntu_18.04/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:codestation.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qcma

3 separate commands....press enter after each one

Give it a try

This is basically the same thing I did. Still getting E: Unable to locate

Have you added the key?

You can add the repository key to apt. Keep in mind that the owner of the key may distribute updates, packages and repositories that your system will trust (more information). To add the key, run:
wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:codestation/xUbuntu_18.04/Release.key -O Release.key
sudo apt-key add - < Release.key
sudo apt-get update

- source https://software.opensuse.org/download/package?project=home:codestation&package=qcma

Run this command in a Terminal

sudo apt-key add - < Release.key

It might shout for a keyring.

Thanks. After adding the key, I ran the commands for xUbuntu 16.04 but faced this error:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Then I executed the xUbuntu 17.10 commands and it successfully installed the software.
