I am trying to install a VPN client (sentinel dVPN) on Linux Mint 18.2 with the .deb
The package manager returns:
"Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: shadowsocks-libev"
sudo apt-get install shadowsocks-libev
returned
E: Unable to locate package shadowsocks-libev"
-
sudo snap install shadowsocks-libev
worked, but the dependency error is still there.
That's the first dependency I installed with snap, so maybe it has problems recognizing them when installed that way?
How can I find out where the problem is?
So far I didn't find a solution, but I am down to one unmet dependency, see: edit2
edit: seems like I hit the next wall of unmet dependencies running
sudo sh -c 'printf "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-backports main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/stretch-backports.list'
sudo apt update
returns

libc-ares2 is installable, but for the other two, it can't find a source

I have the installed libc-ares21.10.0-3ubuntu0.2 but it doesn't recognize it... if I fix this one, it should probably work
Any ideas?
