It is essential to run this command after changing any repositories: sudo apt-get update Visit Ubuntu community help for more information.ĭon't forget to update (make apt aware of your changes): Use this command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa: Find appropriate ppa according to your Ubuntu release version.For External Repositories, Visit Ubuntu Updates and search by.If the package that you are unable to locate is from a PPA go to the PPA and check if it is available there for your release.To enable all repositories ( main, universe, restricted, multiverse), use the following commands: sudo add-apt-repository main Make sure you have enabled Ubuntu repositories: The following (general) procedure helps to solve this: When apt-get install is unable to locate a package, the package you want to install couldn't be found within repositories that you have added (those in in /etc/apt/sources.list and under /etc/apt//). Long story actually short: Unless you’re trying to create Debian packages, don’t use apt.There are many questions about this topic. It’s purpose is now purely as a tool for people trying to build Debian packages on Fedora system. deb packages, and installing those on your system would seriously mess things up, it can’t (and by default, won’t be able to) be used to manage your packages. However, apt-rpm is unmaintained, broken & insecure, and so was dropped in favour of shipping the actual Debian apt package. Long story short(-ish), apt in Fedora used to actually be apt-rpm, which basically mapped normal apt commands so that they worked with Fedora’s rpm package-management system. Unfortunately, that wiki entry is no longer accurate, due to a change in Fedora 32. Well, you can install the apt package which brings the apt-get command to your Fedora (see APT command equivalents on Fedora with DNF :: Fedora Docs), however I have never tried to use it, so I am not aware how that works exactly, however according to that article apt-get should be ported to deal with rpms, so I believe it works over the same packages and package database as dnf. dnf should be the primary way to deal with packages on Fedora. Note: There might be some apt-get equivalents for the above commands, but I do not know them. To see that you have the repository enabled, try dnf repolist. So, if you need some package that is related to ssh, you can try dnf search ssh and it spits out a bunch of packages that have ssh in the description. The good thing is that you can search for keywords, too. Sometimes, when you want to apply an internet how-to, the name of the packages might refer to another distro and the package has a different name on Fedora. To search for packages, try using dnf search and you will see if a package with such name exists. Well, you can install the apt package which brings the apt-get command to your Fedora (see ), however I have never tried to use it, so I am not aware how that works exactly, however according to that article apt-get should be ported to deal with rpms, so I believe it works over the same packages and package database as you can try to install the package using dnf install as suggested to see if it works, but I believe that your problem is somewhere here:
