Unable to install libsodium-dev in the proposed way

[robphoenix]

On Ubuntu 14.04 installing libsodium-dev did not work for me, I got an unable to find package result.

I installed it from this instead.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/libsodium
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libsodium-dev

Thanks for figuring this out and letting me know. Do you know how official that ppa is?

I don't, but in a quick google search it turns up in a few places, looks pretty legit, but I don't know a lot about these things.

It also appears as though libarchive-dev is now available through apt-get.

Closing this since .deb files are provided now. The .deb has a statically linked fwup that doesn't require libsodium or libarchive to be installed.
