install bitcoin-qt ubuntu 14.04

Open the Terminal an run:

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

..and follow the instructions on screen. Thas should do it.

It seem to be going good after "sudo apt-get update" But at the end it said "Release Unable to find expected entry "deb-src/binary-amd64/Packages in Release e file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file)
E: Some index files failed to download They have been ignored, or old ones used instead"

I proceeded anyway and typed "sudo apt-get install bitcoin" I got
"Reading package lists.. Done
Building dependency try
Reading state information.. Done
E: Unable to locate package bitcoin"

Something is wrong with your package source list or a file on the repository servers. Can you post the full output of
sudo apt-get update

1. You mistyped the command with "respository" instead of "repository". Please try again. You better use copy/paste or command line expansion with tab key instead of trying to type the whole command from scratch.

2. There seems already to be an error in the sources.list entry for bitcoin, please provide the output of the terminal command
grep bitcoin /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

Much obliged. I tried it again, but it made no difference. I then tried

grep bitcoin /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

I put the command into a terminal at 6:00 AM and it is still processing
without anything appearing on the screen.

That command should not take hours, stop it with ctrl-c and try again by splitting into two:

grep bitcoin /etc/apt/sources.list
grep bitcoin /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list

and finally copy/paste all output.

david@Latitude-D630C:~$ grep bitcoin /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bitcoin/bitcoin/ubuntu trusty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/bitcoin/bitcoin/ubuntu trusty main

Ok, I think I see what has to be done.

Open a terminal and issue the command

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/source.list

This should ask for your password as confirmation for an administrative task and then open an editor with your sources.list configuration file loaded. Scroll down and search for two lines that contain the string "bitcoin". Delete thsese two lines. Save the file and close the editor.

Issue the commands

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*bitcoin*.list
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin

and finally copy/paste all output as done before.

Oops, typo error, the first command must be

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

I got some help from my room mate. We could not find two lines containing
"bitcoin". There was only one and it was commented upon. I tried installing
the bitcoin anyway, but it could not be found. This is what we got:

deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-backports main
restricted universe multiverse

deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security main restricted

deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty-security multiverse

## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from Canonical's

I see two "bitcoin" lines at the very end (one commented out, one active).

Please continue with the other commands as given in my previous posting, and copy/paste the output of these commands.

I see what you mean about there being two references to bitcoin. My room
mate thought it was one line. In any case, for some reason, I can't get
that lis again.

Again you mistyped a command!

Please use copy and paste from this document to your terminal window to avoid another typo error.
Mark the first line with your mouse such that it is shown in reverse color, switch to the terminal window and click the middle mouse button, and finally press enter, then mark the second line and so on:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*bitcoin*.list
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin

and again copy/paste all output.

I'm sorry about the typo. After making the first mistake I was extra
careful, please believe me. I did the middle key and made sure it was right:

Try

sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
and/or
sudo apt-get install bitcoind

depending on which package you need.

I'm pretty sure I want bitcoin-qt. What do I do next? Maybe you ment I should go through all of the steps , replacing bitcoin with bitcoin-qt? This is what I got:
