Bitmask installation problem

[niepo...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I'm trying make set up vpn with bitmask application.

I tried install bitmask to debian template.

have done steps listed on bitmask site as below in termainal:

sudo apt install leap-archive-keyring
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://deb.leap.se/client release stretch" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bitmask.list'
sudo apt update && sudo apt install bitmask

But there is info as below

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bitmask : Depends: bitmask-core but it is not going to be installed
Depends: bitmask-qt but it is not going to be installed
Depends: bitmask-vpn but it is not going to be installed
Depends: bitmask-mail but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How can I resolve this problem? Any advices?

Hi,

I'm getting an authentication error when I try to install 'bitmask' with
apt:

> WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!
> python-leap-common python-sqlcipher soledad-common soledad-client bitmask-core bitmask-js
> bitmask-qt bitmask-vpn bitmask-mail bitmask


You should probably report the problem to the leap-discuss list. Their
bitmask repository may currently be in a transitional state; I know they
were planning a new release with Qubes support I contributed.

The current release of the standalone bundle can be downloaded here:
https://dl.bitmask.net/client/linux/

Note the current release v0.10.2 doesn't have Qubes proxyVM support.
This means if you run it in a proxyVM some firewall protections won't be
in effect, but it should still work. The latest release candidate
v0.10.3rc1 does have the Qubes proxyVM support.

Another difference between the current release and the release candidate
is that the former has been signed and can be manually verified with gpg.

Shouldn't you use 'apt-get' (or 'aptitude') instead of plain 'apt'?

Sincerely, Joh

I also tried using standalone version of bitmask and program starts but there is info " The VPN requires that certain helpers are installed on your system." and once I click on "Install Helper Files" nothing is happen and can't set up working vpn connection.

There does seem to be something amiss with the repo - I imported the
signing key but still get a GPG error with invalid signature.

Their gpg signing key is expired. Report to leap!

I recall seeing a bug report on the leap-discuss list about a "blank
window" problem that prevents making connections; I have experienced it
myself but its intermittent.

Unless you are using the newer (release candidate) version from January,
you should use bitmask in an appVM to avoid connection problems.
