I want to install sogoupinyin on elementary OS
I have done the some works so as to be prepared
sudo apt-get remove ibus
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fcitx-team/nightly
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fcitx-sogoupinyin # failed, error shows: unable to locate fcitx-sogoupinyin
therefore, I download the package from this URL http://pinyin.sogou.com/linux/
and use dpkg command to install it.
here is the log.

题主给的答案也太啰嗦了，半天没看明白重点…
我概括一下那个链接里说的意思：
$ sudo sed -i.bak '3s/ OS/OS/g' /etc/os-release
$ sudo apt-get install sogoupinyin
$ sudo mv /etc/os-release.bak /etc/os-releaseI just find the solution:
