Hello there,
I just got a Nitrokey Pro 2 to securely store and use my GPG keys (and OTP
passwords). However, I have difficulties installing their software to make
the key function.
I followed the installation instructions
(https://www.nitrokey.com/download/ubuntu) for an Ubuntu system by adding a
PPA. So I typed:
> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nitrokey/nitrokey
No issue so far, I checked in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and the PPA was
there.
Then I typed:
> sudo apt update && sudo apt install nitrokey-app
And the message I got was:
> Package nitrokey-app is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
> is only available from another source
> However, the following packages replace it:
> libnitrokey-common
>
> E: Package nitrokey-app has no installation candidate
When checking the PPA link
(https://launchpad.net/~nitrokey/+archive/ubuntu/nitrokey?field.series_filter=xenial)
the package nitrokey-app is available for xenial systems (i.e. Ubuntu 16.04
LTS). I also tried to install libnitrokey-common, but it does not contain
nitrokey-app nor substitute it.
Browsing the Web, I found various cases of similar error messages, but no
solutions seem to apply to this particular situation. I’m quite clueless
here.
Many thanks,
