Frustrating Thing

Vivaldi preview is only 64-bit Linux. Much sad. Very aggravation.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libappindicator1 : Depends: libdbusmenu-glib4 (>= 0.4.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libdbusmenu-gtk4 (>= 0.4.2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libindicator7 (>= 0.4.90) but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: indicator-application (>= 0.2.93) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Cool! I'll give that a try when I'm not stuck under the cats with only a Hudl for company.

Linux has made me so lazy about tweaking stuff. It generally installs correctly and just works.

I don't entirely speak Debian (or Ubuntu) but that actually looked like an "and even the 64-bit version doesn't install". I've hit that with some other packages (Maya) in the past.

Are you constrained to an elderly 32-bit machine? AMD64 is old enough you may be able to find a cast-off for not much, perhaps even free if you're lucky.

Indeed. I gave up at that point

I hadn't heard of this Vivaldi at all before your post; then it got mentioned on Radio 4 this morning.
