I am eventually trying setup the belgian card reader and I have found this thread, which worked on my previous machine (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS), but it is not working on my current one (Ubuntu 17.10)

When I download and

sudo dpkg -i eid-archive_2018.1_all.deb

I get the following message, which looks OK to me:

(Reading database ... 492593 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack eid-archive_2018.1_all.deb ...
Unpacking eid-archive (2018.1) over (2018.1) ...
Setting up eid-archive (2018.1) ...
Repository enabled, keys installed. Please run "apt-get update" followed by
"apt-get install eid-mw eid-viewer" to install the middleware and the viewer, respectively.

When I then:

apt-get install eid-mw eid-viewer

I get the following error message:

E: Unable to locate package eid-mw 
E: Unable to locate package eid-viewer

I have also noticed that I do not have the required libraries as shown here.

When I try to install them with:

sudo apt install libacr38u libacr38ucontrol0 libacr38ucontrol-dev libccid

I get the following error message:

E: Unable to locate package libacr38u
E: Unable to locate package libacr38ucontrol0
E: Unable to locate package libacr38ucontrol-dev

Does anyone know why I cannot install those libraries? As far as I recall, I could install them with no problem at all on my previous machine (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS)

I also tried to install the libraries with synaptic, but I could not find them.
