You first login as root user, then try this one,



apt-get update;



apt-cache search package name;


It will show the proper package name,
Then you can install it through the apt-get install package name.

Check the PATH variable (echo $PATH) to see if there's something wrong there (please post the output here).



Also, try to copy a clean .bashrc file from /etc/skel (backup your current ~/.bashrc file before)



Hope this helps ;D

    Try simulating the command without doing anything else, in order to get only the command's error messages:



    sudo apt update  
    
apt install --simulate build-essential manpages-dev


    If there are no error messages, try running the commands as root without the --simulate option.



    sudo apt update  
    
sudo apt install build-essential manpages-dev

    • OP said apt-get install build-essential manpages-dev doesn't work. why do you think it will work with --simulate switch?

      – Anwar
      Aug 3 '16 at 14:05











    • In case he ranapt–get install (with an en dash between apt and get) or apt~get install, either of which would result in something like an apt~get command not found error message, I'm trying to trick him with the sneaky placebo --simulate option into copy/pasting the correct command instead.

            How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

            Image
            3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...
