I can't install the Software Center:

billy2xs@billy2xs-W150ER:~$ sudo apt-get install software-center
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package software-center 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 'software-center' has no installation candidate

I also tried:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

and got

software-properties-common is already the newest version (0.98.9.5).

so I'm lost.

Assuming by Software-center, you mean the gnome-software-center. You can install it via this command:-

sudo apt-get install gnome-software

  • ok sudo apt-get install gnome-software worked, thanks! I tried CTRL-K for this command, but it didn't work. – CountHackula Aug 13 '21 at 09:21
  • Ref. @frankbell : "If Synaptic is not installed, I'd install it. It's superior to the "software centers" that seem to be all the rage today." – Knud Larsen Aug 13 '21 at 10:16
  • Well @KnudLarsen if Synaptic Package Manager is what you are ref, then I'd say it's over my head, because, say I want to remove Spotify, I don't really see it there. – CountHackula Aug 13 '21 at 10:53
