It seems like I can't install mailutils in Ubuntu 18.04. It's a dependency error and I can't find about this issue also somewhere else.

Command: sudo apt install mailutils

Output:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 mailutils : Depends: guile-2.0-libs but it is not going to be installed
             Depends: libmailutils5 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Then I ran this: sudo apt install guile-2.0-libs

Output:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 guile-2.0-libs : Depends: libgc1c2 (>= 1:7.2d) but it is not installable
                  Depends: libltdl7 (>= 2.4.6) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried installing libgc1c2 mannualy: sudo apt install libgc1c2

Output:

Reading state information... Done
Package libgc1c2 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 'libgc1c2' has no installation candidate

The missing dependencie guile-2.0-libs available from the main repository. mailutils and its dependency libmailutils5 are available from universe, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list as follows:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-proposed main restricted universe multiverse

Then run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install mailutils
