E: Package 'libvirt-bin' has no installation candidate
I'm trying to install KVM\qemu on Ubuntu 18.10.
According to this page I'm running the command:
apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin ubuntu-vm-builder bridge-utils
and get an error about the packge "libvirt-bin" and "ubuntu-vm-builder":
E: Package 'libvirt-bin' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package ubuntu-vm-builder
I see that the package "libvirt-bin" is available.
The main repository is set. Anything that I'm doing wrong? Couldn't find any info regrading this issue.
Is it the new Ubuntu version (18.10)?
Thanks
You are correct: The libvirt-bin
package was dropped in 18.10.
Quoting from https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/11/msg00518.html
The package was split into two parts:
libvirt-daemon-system
libvirt-clients
In most cases you probably want both of them at the same time.
So instead of libvirt-bin
use libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients
:
sudo apt-get install qemu-kvm libvirt-daemon-system libvirt-clients bridge-utils
