Trying to install BitMask on Trisquel 6 so I can try out the new RiseUp Black services:
https://dl.bitmask.net/linux/

Repo seemed to add ok, but when I tried to install the package, terminal responded with a long list of broken dependencies:

root@BISHOP:~# apt-get install bitmask leap-keyring
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

bitmask : Depends: python-zmq (>= 14.4.1-1.1) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: python (>= 2.7.5-5~) but 2.7.3-0ubuntu2.2 is to be installed

Well, sure you get that output. The dependencies required to run bitmask demand a version of both debian and buguntu of a more recent state than Trisquel 6 which is based on 12.04.
You will need to upgrade your system.
cheers!
