O.S. Linux Mint 18 'Sarah' "Xfce 64-bit" - installation problem

http://brackets.io correctly selects Brackets.Release.1.8.64-bit.deb which downloads, however a libgcrypt11 unsatisfied dependency prevented installation by software manager. By installing Transitional libgcrypt11-dev and then using the via PPA for Ubuntu instruction at
http://www.webupd8.org/2013/11/install-brackets-in-ubuntu-via-ppa-open.html Brackets did install.

I suppose it's possible that brackets really ought to be dependent on libgcrypt20, which is current, rather than libgcrypt11, which seems to be deprecated.

Thanks for the link to doing what I did, almost - I hope it helps others. Attempting to install 1.8.64-bit.deb after Transitional libgcrypt11-dev obtained and installed by software manager also didn't work - I had to go the PPA command line route. After Brackets installed I tried to uninstall the dummy Transitional libgcrypt11-dev obtained by software manager from the Mint repository but that hung at 75%, so I told software manager to install it, which it did.
