So back in 2014 following the Mt. Gox disaster, I used Armory to create an offline wallet on an air-gapped computer, and set up a watch-only wallet on my Internet connected computer. The original install wallet was Armory 0.90 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my air-gapped computer as well as my Internet connected computer. However, over the years I was forced to upgrade my watch-only wallet on different Internet connected computers to Armory 0.93.2 in order to keep track of my bitcoins.
So I recently acquired a KeepKey, and today I fired up the air-gapped computer today to sign some offline transactions and transfer my bitcoin over to the Keepkey so that I can import the private keys from the Armory wallet into a Bitcoin Cash/BCash/BCH wallet and access those coins without risking my bitcoins. However, I ran into some issues, as Armory 0.90 was unable to sign the transactions created by Armory 0.93.2 (to be clear, I was able to fire up Armory 0.90 on the air-gapped computer and import a transaction created by Armory 0.93.2 on the Internet connected computer, only to have Armory 0.90 be unable to sign that transaction.) I thought the easy solution would be to update the Armory version on the air-gapped computer to Armory 0.93.3 for Ubuntu 12.04+ (32bit) - the earliest version of the Armory software available on their website - but ran into a "dependency is not satisfiable: python-qt4" error.
What's more concerning is that now, following my attempt to upgrade the Armory software on the air-gapped computer, I can't get the Armory wallet on the air-gapped computer to start up anymore, and the Ubuntu Software Center history on my air-gapped computer lists the following files as "removed":
libqt4-test (4.8.1-Oubuntu4.4) libqt4-help (4.8.1-0ubuntu4.4) python-qt4 (4.9.1-2ubuntu1) libqt4-designer (4.8.1-0ubuntu4.4) armory (0.90-1) libqt4-scripttools (4.8.1-0ubuntu4.4)
I still have the seed for my Armory wallet in a safe deposit box, but I was hoping to be able to transfer the bitcoins out of the Armory wallet and to the KeepKey wallet by signing transactions via the air-gapped computer (as well as access the Armory wallet private keys on that air-gapped computer wallet to access my Bitcoin Cash/BCash/BCH).
I was hoping I could get some advice from this forum on the safest way to get my bitcoins from the Armory wallet and to the KeepKey, which is the #1 priority. If that enables me to access my BCH, that would be great too.
Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help me out.
