Ubuntu Trusty fail on install of 1.9.3

I had tried gdebi first by clicking the download. Thank you for the suggestions, I’ll play with aptitude more in the future. The actual issue was my own silliness, I downloaded the 386 version on a 64 bit install. gdebi complained correctly about the architecture, but the command line tools I used above did not mention architecture, only version numbers. Thank you again!
