I'm trying to install Source Dedicated Server on Ubuntu Server 12.04 and every time I try to install lib32gcc1, I get 

E: Package 'lib32gcc1' has no installation candidate

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I have tried running

sudo apt-get update

and the error persists.

apt-cache policy lib32gcc1
lib32gcc1:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:

grep -r ^deb\ .*main /etc/apt/sources.list*    
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main

As I was able to install the openssh-server package, here is the version table for that package:

apt-cache policy openssh-server
openssh-server:
Installed: 1:5.9p1-5ubuntu1
Candidate: 1:5.9p1-5ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 1:5.9p1-5ubuntu1 0
    500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages
    100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The package lib32gcc1 is an amd64 (64 bit) package only. You're running i386 (32 bit) as can be seen from the output of apt-cache policy openssh-server in your question.

Now, either:

  • Install libgcc1 which is already 32-bit on your system:

    sudo apt-get install libgcc1

  • Install the 64-bit version of Ubuntu instead.

It can be the case that the mirror you're using is not up to date. Try changing the mirror to some other location.

To do it using the command line:

apt-get supports a mirror method that will automatically select a good mirror based on your location. Putting:

deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt precise YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE restricted universe multiverse
deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb mirror://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE-security main restricted universe multiverse

on the top of your /etc/apt/sources.list/ file is all that is needed.

You need to replace YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE with the name of your ubuntu version. e.g. quantal for Ubuntu 12.10, precise for Ubuntu 12.04, oneiric for 11.10, etc.

To do it using the GUI:

  • Go to Ubuntu Software Center > Edit > Software Sources.
  • In the Download From dropdown menu, select Server from United States or Main Server.
  • Try installing the package again.
