installing veracrypt on kubuntu 24.04 LTS

[skyfishgoo]

isn't used on later Kubuntu releases.

this is the 24.04 sub, and that's what i have installed ... that's what the screen shot is from.

Yes, but the bug and bitrot seen in 24,04 is why it was removed afterwards. It does not work for installing debs, in most, and probably all situatuations, in 24.04

(I was actually surprised it wasn't removed much earlier tbh, it has done the false “missing dependency” thing since well before Noble)

I will do all the suggestions one after another if this is necessary:
After running command:sudo apt install ./veracrypt-1.26.24-Ubuntu-24.04-arm64.deb
I got this response:
Reading package lists... Done

Note, selecting 'veracrypt:arm64' instead of './veracrypt-1.26.24-Ubuntu-24.04-arm64.deb'

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I think that last line has something to do with an earlier attempt. See my response #3
How can I get rid of those broken packages before I move further?

/veracrypt-1.26.24-Ubuntu-24.04-arm64.deb

If this is correct, this is the deb for Arm based CPUs, not normal PC ones (amd64)

You want the veracrypt-1.26.24-Ubuntu-24.04-amd64.deb package.

First I thought I made a typo error but a closer look showed I did not.
I downloaded the veracrypt file from this site:

Then I downloaded this file from there:

And THAT file I tried to install.
That file is obviously not a correct one, is it?
I think the best thing to do is starting all over again.

That file is obviously not a correct one, is it?

Unless your PC has an ARM processor, no, it isn't the correct file. You want to download the file claydoh cited in post #19.

[Watermann]

Or download the deb and double-click it, or right-click it and Open With >> Discover.

There are always a half dozen ways to do things

I finally downloaded the correct veracrypt file ! Thank you Snowhog, claydoh, die.boer and others. Much appreciated!
And got it installed
