How can I install Midnight Commander on Ubuntu 18.04.1? [duplicate]
I can't install Midnight Commander (mc
) on Ubuntu 18.04.1.
/etc/apt/sources.list
file:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main
And this is the reply I get when I try to install:
$ sudo apt-get install mc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package mc is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
This didn't help (#1):
$ sudo apt-get update
This didn't help (#2):
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mc
It also didn't help to change mirror to http://de.archive.ubuntu.com
, for example.
Solution 1:
You need to enable the universe
repository:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
and then install mc
:
sudo apt install mc
