Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Install non-descript error

Post by Fridgeroo »

I am attempting an install of the f@h client on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I downloaded the folder and used software install GUI initially.
Error message provided does not contain any information.

Message:
Sorry, this did not work
Installation of fahclient failed
Details
Detailed errors from the package manager follow:

Below traceback when attempting install from command line:

I'm no help with the specific error your getting. Give this a read to see if you're maybe missing some dependencies.
