I'm having trouble with installing the Mullvad VPN client on my computer. The configuration files work fine and there is a connection but the client just won't work (there is a icon in the applications but when clicking on it, password is asked and then nothing happens). Using Debian Wheezy 7.
I'm in contact with Mullvad but we haven't made any progress yet, and it's weekend now.
I tried a couple of thing but this is where i'm now:
- Fresh installed system.
→ Going to Downloads map in terminal
→ login as root
→ trying to install Mullvad by dpkg -i mullvad_48-1_all.deb
→ seeing error installing Mullvad
→ apt-get install -f
→ installing “mullvad depends on packages”
apt-get install pytho
apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8
apt-get install python-appindicator
→ trying to install Mullvad by dpkg -i mullvad_48-1_all.deb
→ seeing problem(?)
“ dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of mullvad:
mullvad depends on python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2).
dpkg: error processing mullvad (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured “ (what is this?)
→ trying to install python_2.7.3-4+deb7u1_all.deb by dpkg -i python_2.7.3-4+deb7u1_all.deb
→ then: apt-get install -f
→ trying to install Mullvad: dpkg -i mullvad_48-1_all.deb
→ still not working

I found this link about "Package has a Depends on python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2)" https://qa.debian.org/debcheck.php?dist ... thon-gdata
It says : Package has a Depends on python:any (>= 2.7.1-0ubuntu2) which cannot be satisfied on amd64.
What does this mean for me?
I checked command # python -V The output is:
Code:
Python 2.7.3
