I am trying to install the NFS client:
sudo apt-get install nfs-common
For a reason I don't understand, I get this response:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package nfs-common 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 'nfs-common' has no installation candidate
I am 98 % sure that I got that working on another machine. So, am I doing something wrong or what might cause this error?
Edit:
What version of Ubuntu is this:
540 $ lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu 15.10
Updating
541 $ sudo apt-get update
...

... etc etc ...
sudo apt-get update? What was the result? – Melebius Feb 05 '18 at 13:38
