I'm pretty new to Ubuntu but keen on coming to grips with it. I've tried to install Everpad on Ubuntu 14.04. The repository was added to source.list and the repository key was registered as well.

There is an unmet dependency. Any idea how I could get the libgtk2.0-0 issue resolved? Thus far I refrained from forcing apt-get to install everpad regardless of missing dependencies.

My Ubuntu updates daily and I haven't protected libgtk2.0-0 from being updated in aptitude.

I solved the dependency issue using aptitude to downgrade 4 libraries. Aptitude will show solutions for the problem and accepting the one which downgrades solved it.

Here is more information about aptitude general aptitude how-to guide

Everpad is working fine now.

I recently had the same problem; I found out that I had to enable recommended updates (trusty-updates in ubuntu 14.04) in software update (updates tab); this allow the system to download latest versions of packages;
