You might want to run ‘apt-get -f install’ to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
kobo-desktop:i386 : Depends: libusb-0.1-4:i386 but it is not installed
Depends: libpng3:i386 but it is not installed
Depends: libxml2:i386 but it is not installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f.
I fear the system will be unusable in this state since I won't be able to install new packages or updates.
I tried to fix it by using
sudo dpkg --force-depends -i kobo-desktop.deb
but it made no difference :-(

Now I believe, or am under the impression that the Linux build won't allow you to setup a new touch, but hopefully someone may be able to verify it.
I recently bought an original wifi and though I may have to use the desktop app to set it up. I didn't but I did use winecfg to install the kobo desktop app. It worked a treat. In terms of system stability you might find it better as all you need is to install wine from the repository then download the winecfg script, select kobo desktop app, and it will download and install it for you.
I have yet to plug my reader into it yet, but at least us Linux users can use a hack to install a piece of windows software onto our Linux box so we can interact with a Linux device.
