When I follow the instructions on the Bitcoin Unlimited website:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin-unlimited/bucash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoind bitcoin-qt

I get this:

:~$ sudo apt-get install bitcoind bitcoin-qt

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

bitcoind : Depends: libgcc-s1 (>= 3.4) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

When I run Bitcoin Unlimited, it is still 17.0.0-bionic6 and stuck at Block 635258.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a solution?

Thanks in advance!

HOW YOU CAN RECOVER YOUR LOST CRYPTO/FUNDS: Lost hope in a crypto scam? I got my $394,330 back! I invested $430,000 in a bogus crypto site. Big returns promised, withdrawals blocked, extra fees demanded – it was a nightmare. Feeling trapped, I even considered the unthinkable. My family helped me through it, and my niece suggested HACKERSTEVE911. They'd helped her with grades, but I'd never thought of them for this. I contacted them, expecting little. But within four days, they recovered $394,330 back to my wallet! My hope, my life, was back. If you're in a similar situation, don't lose hope. Contact them on hackersteve911@gmail.com
