Iḿ trying to run the command

ifconfig

The output is:

Command 'ifconfig' not found, did you mean:

command 'iconfig' from deb ipmiutil (3.1.5-1)

command 'pifconfig' from deb python3-ethtool (0.14-3build1)

command 'fconfig' from deb redboot-tools (0.7build3)


Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

I tried to install it via:

sudo apt-get install net-tools

But didn't work:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree        
Reading state information... Done
 Package net-tools 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 'net-tools' has no installation candidate

I'm running Ubuntu 20-04, and searched on ubuntu.packages.com and found this result:

package is there

What am I doing wrong?

Update

I was able to solve the problem following this topic:

What does "Package <package> has no installation candidate" mean?

Thank you all for the replies.

    Why do you have 14.04 tagged here? Also, have you ran sudo apt update before trying to install the net-tools package? – Terrance Jul 07 '20 at 14:22

    Have you run apt update recently? It sounds like you installed but didn't update your repository data, and this is a Common Occurrence unfortunately. – Thomas Ward Jul 07 '20 at 15:26
  • @Terrance, I didn't find 20.04 on tags. Sorry. I tried that command but nothing happens, keeps showing the same error. – ayaros Jul 07 '20 at 17:23
  • @N0rbert - no, it doesn't. Everything is pretty much the same as shown on that link. – ayaros Jul 07 '20 at 17:25
  • @Thomas Ward I tried that, but it doesn't solve. I don't know what to do. Thanks everyone for the tips but I'm stuck with this. – ayaros Jul 07 '20 at 17:25

    Can you please edit your question and add the output of sudo apt update? Sounds like your repositories are not correct or something is wrong with them. I have 20.04 in a VM and it does show net-tools for install and it is installed. – Terrance Jul 08 '20 at 14:02
  • @Terrance, thanks for your help. I don't remember the result of that command, but I was able to solve the problem following steps on other post. I'll update my post. Thanks. – ayaros Jul 10 '20 at 08:36
