Which version of qBitTorrent are you installing? Have you installed the PPA for qBitTorrent into Apt?

Currently running 12.04 LTS and qBitTorrent 2.9.10 here using the qBitTorrent PPA as my install repo.

From the output of your apt-get installation log, you are setup to install the BETA version of qbittorrent which will have dependencies not available in your other repositories.  Please make sure you are installing the from the stable PPA.

The following commands, in this order should remove the Beta, remove the unstable ppa, reinstall the stable ppa, and install qbittorrent 2.9.10 stable.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get remove qbittorrent
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-add-repository -r ppa:hydr0g3n/qbittorrent-unstable
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:hydr0g3n/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qbittorrent

If you read the output of your apt-get, you will see that it installed qbittorrent 3.0.0-Beta... meaning you have the unstable PPA enabled in your package manager.

I am getting the same error.

Code: Select all

an@hellfyr:~$ qbittorrent 
qbittorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.40.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have uninstalled and reinstalled qbt from the PPA (stable).

EDIT

after symlink'ing libboost_filesystem.so.1.48.0 and libboost_thread.so.1.46.1 to v1.40.0 I make a little progress.

Now I am getting this error.
