- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
- sudo apt-get update
+ sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev
- Ubuntu 12.04 and later have packages for libdb5.1-dev and libdb5.1++-dev,

+BerkeleyDB 5.1 or later, which break binary wallet compatibility with the distributed executables which
+are based on BerkeleyDB 4.8. If you do not care about wallet compatibility,
+pass `--with-incompatible-bdb` to configure.
