I wanted to install dhcp server. When I typed ifconfig it says,command not found but can be installed with sudo apt install net-tools. Then I did so. Results were

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree...Done
Reading state information...Done
E: Unable to locate package net-tools

I updated cache. Then checked the repository in my ubuntu version whether it has or not that particular package. I got something like this.

jammy (22.04LTS) (net): NET-3 networking toolkit
1.60+git20181103.0eebece-1ubuntu5: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el s390x

I can't figure it out whether it is in universe or multiverse repository. And how to solve this after this.

  • ifconfig has been retired from default installation because Netplan is now in use instead of ifupdown, a change that's been in place for a while now. What ifconfig command were you trying to run? There may be equivalent ip commands to execute, or you may not even need to execute any special ifconfig command options. – Thomas Ward Nov 18 '22 at 18:02
  • Please list contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list – Artur Meinild Nov 18 '22 at 18:19
  • It says permutation denied. – Nuwanthi Karunarathne Nov 20 '22 at 07:21

For me apt policy net-tools gives:

net-tools:
  Installed: 1.60+git20181103.0eebece-1ubuntu5
  Candidate: 1.60+git20181103.0eebece-1ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 1.60+git20181103.0eebece-1ubuntu5 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So it's in the main repository. Did you run sudo apt update after changing repositories?
