Im trying to download Bitcoin for my Ubuntu Oneiric.

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
 sudo apt-get update
 sudo apt-get install bitcoin/bitcoin

Everything goes smooth until the install line. 

 Reading package lists... Done
 Building dependency tree       
 Reading state information... Done
 E: Unable to locate package bitcoin

Help! I've never done a PPA before!

I got it installed and working with these. Open a terminal and run the following commands:

  • Add the Bitcoin Ubuntu PPA repository in your Ubuntu:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin

  • Update package lists

    sudo apt-get update

  • Install bitcoin-qt

    sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt

Ready! Look for Bitcoin under "Applications menu"

The problem appears to be the apt-get install command you gave:

sudo apt-get install bitcoin/bitcoin

Looking in the PPA, the package you want is just called bitcoin, so this is probably what you wanted to type:

sudo apt-get install bitcoin
