The only deb package available for the protonmail bridge (to the best of my knowledge) can be found here: https://protonmail.com/download/protonmail-bridge_1.0.3-1_amd64.deb By the way, I got all these other packages installed with no issues. However, I cannot test the bridge package, as it only comes in amd64 (no 32-bit); and besides, using protonmail with kmail or other client is only available for paid accounts. Ubuntu and Debian are not quite interchangeable, and I found that a lot of packages that were problematic before (when I ran Kubuntu, up until 16.04) are no longer a problem in Debian. Bill
