When I try to install multiple packages at the same time but one or more can't be located or have no installation candidate then nothing gets installed.

As an example:

$ sudo apt-get install <package> <package2> <package3>
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package <package> 

Nothing is installed though i want <package2> and <package3> installed anyway.

The apt-get option --ignore-missing seems to do nothing here. I tested it on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Server and 20.10 Desktop.

Is there another way to bypass these errors?
