I would like to install the latest version of Bibletime (2.9.1) on my computer because the version in the official repositories (2.8.1) has a bug with the "Mag" feature. I had installed 2.9.1 on 12.04 32 bit through one of the following ppa's:



ppa:pkgcrosswire/ppa
ppa:pkgcrosswire/developer-testing


Now on an Ubuntu 12.04.1 64 bit, I'm getting a dependency issue. It seems that it depends on libsword8 but it should actually depend on libsword9 which is available in the repositories. See http://sword-dev.350566.n4.nabble.com/Ubuntu-12-04-td4577002.html



Can someone help me install this app please?



EDIT: apt-get install -f bibletime yields the following:



The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bibletime : Depends: libsword8 (>= 1.6.2+dfsg) but it is not installable
Depends: bibletime-data (= 2.9.1-0ubuntu0~r70~precise1) but 2.9.1-1~ppa2~precise is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I managed to install Bibletime 2.9.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.1 64 bit. This is how:




  1. Added the following repository deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main
    2. In a terminal I typed sudo apt-get update

  2. Followed by sudo apt-get install bibletime ignoring the warning messages

  3. I removed the two software sources not to contaminate my system with other 'updates'

  4. sudo apt-get update for the second time to clean the package cache.
