Armory - dependency issue on Debian 7.6

[BitcoinAshley]

I'm installing the latest version of Armory on Debian 7.6.

Under "Ubuntu/Debian" packages I downloaded the .deb "0.92.1 for Ubuntu 12.04+ (64-bit)"
There were only two listed as "Ubuntu/Debian" and they were both offline packages.

When I tried to install the .deb file, I got this:

Code:

This package is uninstallable
Dependency is not satisfiable: libc6 (>= 2.14)

No, 'sudo apt-get install -f' will not work because it is a non-satisfiable dependency.

The version of libc6 I have installed is: 2.13-38+deb7u3

That's the latest version according to Synaptic.

What to do? 

It worked on my last deb7.6 install but I think it was a prior version...

0.91.2 depended on libc6 >= 2.11, whereas 0.92.1 depends on libc6 >= 2.14. I suspect it may be that they switched the system on which they build the .deb.

In the meantime, you can either use an old version of Armory, or upgrade your system to Jessie (Debian 8 ).

Edit: It looks like the website says just Ubuntu 12.04+ as the OS, not Debian, for the newer versions.

We are doing some work to make our code Debian-friendly. I'm not sure of the status, unfortunately.

Do you think it will work if I upgrade to Debian 8?

On Debian you might as well just build from source.

Yes, it will work if you upgrade to Debian 8 (Jessie). But as Goatpig said, you can also build it from source on Debian 7.6 (Wheezy) and that would work.
