Ubuntu PPA cannot function

[HorseRider]

I opened a terminal and typed:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

Then I got the key.


Then I typed:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

I got the update information


Then I typed:

Code:

sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

Then the screen said:

Code:

 Reading package lists... Done
 Building dependency tree       
 Reading state information... Done
 E: Unable to locate package bitcoin-qt

What have I done wrong?
I'm not familiar with linux. I am located in China, the sourceforge is banned by Great Fire Wall. launchpad.net is not banned. ubuntu10.04 can be updated smoothly.

Can you use https://www.torproject.org ?

You could access sourceforge that way.


Edit: You can install the daemon this way. (No GUI)

sudo apt-get install bitcoind

Yes, I downloaded the bitcoin-0.7.2-linux.tar.gz through SSH proxy and extracted on the desktop and are updating the blockchain now.

But I just want to it update automatically to the latest version.

sudo apt-get install bitcoind

I have tried that, but it does not work.  If we find nothing wrong in the code I typed in, then I guess I will try the VPN tonight.

In your first post you wrote:

sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

I don't see any package with this name.

Correct name is:

sudo apt-get install bitcoind

It does work for me.


You can search for package name with apt-cache search like this:

apt-cache search bitcoin
