How do I install locales-all on 18.04?

Question

For some reason the latest Ubuntu has no package for locales-all. Before I reinstalled my local development environment this worked flawlessly and I can't seem to find an alternative package for this.

sudo apt-get install locales-all
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package locales-all 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 'locales-all' has no installation candidate

How would I go about to install all locales?

Does this answer your question? How do I enable the "Universe" repository? — karel, Oct 18 '20 at 06:26

According to ubuntu packages website, locales-all should be present in 18.04.

Have you checked if you have the universe repository enabled?

Check this question for a couple of examples on how to enable it.

Thank you. I never thought of it since universe have always been enabled by default. Enabling universe solved the issue! – Daniel Sep 04 '18 at 11:57
