Ubuntu 17.10 is named artful. You are trying to install a binary package that was prepared for 17.04 (zesty). So the error is not completely unexpected. If you create your own deb file from source, following the instructions, it works perfectly in 17.10.

Alternatively, I think that you should report it to the maintainer of the webudp8 ubuntu ppa, not here.

I've created my own deb package as described in the instructions. I've installed and tested it, and it seems to be working fine.

Thank you!

I have the same problem. Can you explain to me how to solve it? I'm not sure I am competent enough to repackage my own deb

I think it's pretty straightforward, just look at this paragraph: https://github.com/vitalif/grive2#install-dependencies And then this one: https://github.com/vitalif/grive2#build-debian-packages
