I would like to install the latest version of Bibletime (2.9.1) on my computer because the version in the official repositories (2.8.1) has a bug with the "Mag" feature. I had installed 2.9.1 on 12.04 32 bit through one of the following ppa's:

ppa:pkgcrosswire/ppa
ppa:pkgcrosswire/developer-testing

Now on an Ubuntu 12.04.1 64 bit, I'm getting a dependency issue. It seems that it depends on libsword8 but it should actually depend on libsword9 which is available in the repositories. See http://sword-dev.350566.n4.nabble.com/Ubuntu-12-04-td4577002.html

Can someone help me install this app please?

EDIT: apt-get install -f bibletime yields the following:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 bibletime : Depends: libsword8 (>= 1.6.2+dfsg) but it is not installable
             Depends: bibletime-data (= 2.9.1-0ubuntu0~r70~precise1) but 2.9.1-1~ppa2~precise is to be installed
