I can't install Midnight Commander (mc), 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 reply:



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 missig, has been obsoleted, or in 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


Also didn't helped repository to set (for example) to http://de.archive.ubuntu.com

You need to enable the universe repository:



sudo add-apt-repository universe


then update



sudo apt update


and then install mc:



sudo apt install mc

  • sudo apt update is not necessary when adding a repo since it's initialized to latest contents.

  • When refreshing existing repos - yes, but when adding, it downloads the contents automatically. Just did it. But of course your answer is correct - +1!
