Failed Ubuntu package download

I have a problem downloading packages with ubuntu server 18.04. I have had it working before. However, I have reinstalled the operating system and can no longer remember how I fixed it last time. I believe that last time I enabled/downloaded repositories. Can anyone help me?

sudo apt install shorewall

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Package shorewall 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



E: Package 'shorewall' has no installation candidate

Please tell us which packages you cannot download. And please tell us the error output. Edit the original question (do not answer in comments). Indent each line of the output 4 spaces to render it as 'code' (to make it easier for us to read).

However, it won't download any package @sudodus

shorewall is in the repository 'universe'. Is it activated in your Ubuntu Server? Please run sudo add-apt-repository universe and after that sudo apt update and try again to install shorewall with sudo apt install shorewall

Thank you so much. Is there any other generic ones that i may have to install as well for other packages? But thanks this did the trick!

Try looking if the package shorewall is listed under a different name by executing:

sudo apt-cache search shorewall

You may also want to search for the repository for shorewall from Google and add it to your /etc/apt/sources.list file

You can try: https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/all/shorewall/download and download the Shorewall .deb package for all architectures there, and install with dpkg

You should also look at http://www.shorewall.org/download.htm as they list the different requirements as well
