I am trying to install a disc burner with no luck... This is what I have tried:

lena@lena:~$ sudo apt-get install brasero
[sudo] password for lena:

E: The package linux-headers-5.3.0-62 needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
lena@lena:~$ ^C
lena@lena:~$ ^C
lena@lena:~$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers 4.4.0-98

Your sources.list file is not right, so you should fix that first...

# Fix your repsoitories
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.not_working
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list /etc/apt/

Add the Universe repository


sudo apt-add-repository universe


View the contents of sources.list (original + universe repository)


grep -r deb /etc/apt/sources.list


Update if necessary


sudo apt update

  • Please note that /usr/share/doc/apt/examples/sources.list on 18.04 LTS does not contain universe and multiverse pockets. You may need to add sudo add-apt-repository universe ; sudo add-apt-repository multiverse to the answer. – N0rbert May 16 '21 at 21:04
