Install Tox messenger on Jessie.
 
Hello.
I want to install "Tox" messenger in Debian jessie x64. I added below line to "/etc/apt/sources.list":

deb https://pkg.tox.chat/debian nightly jessie

and then installed "apt-transport-https" and run "sudo apt-get update".

but when I want to install "qtox" it showed me below error:

$ sudo apt-get install qtox
Reading package lists... Done

Any idea?

Tnx.

Well, there are a couple issues I see here.

1) You're not following the official Tox installation instructions for Debian.
2) The packages you're trying to install are not in Debian's repositories. They may, however, be in the Ubuntu repositories. Or, if you don't want to potentially add instability from foreign repos, you can use pkgs.org.

The official Tox installation instructions for Debian don't tell you that you need the backports repository enabled.
