I have learned from here that k9copy, although not maintained anymore can be installed.

I think it is the package from here

But, following the instructions from there, I stumbled at the step where I have to run

make -j4

I am trying to run it in the folder where I have already run the previous commands...

It looks like so.

There is a newer version here but how to install that?

Edit after comment on getting deb from here and installing by command

sudo dpkg -i --force-depends k9copy_2.3.8-3_amd64.deb

    Might I suggest just installing the .deb from this link? (Under "Downloadable files") – Mitch Oct 17 '14 at 13:25
  • @musher - i already have libavcodec54, while i'm asked for 53 in order to install the deb –  Oct 17 '14 at 17:51
  • You could try dpkg -i --force-depends [deb file]... if it hasn't been updated in a while it might just not know that 54 exists. However, on that note, it could also break things... so be careful. – Mitch Oct 17 '14 at 17:59
  • @musher - i installed it with a lot of comments that i will post in question. but executing /usr/bin/k9copy it does not start –  Oct 17 '14 at 18:12
  • It looks like you're missing more than just libavcodec - do you have kde-runtime, libxine1.... all installed? – Mitch Oct 17 '14 at 18:25
  • @musher - obviously not. but i got broken package now. please post as answer to give me more details on what should i do. otherwise this is too little info for my skill level :) –  Oct 17 '14 at 19:05

k9copy-reloaded is supported; .deb files for *ubuntu Trusty, Utopic and Vivid, as well as Debian Jessie are available: here.

For 14.04 download the Trusty version.
