I have a script I run on erach new machine I own, that installs somethings I need.

For some reason, on a dell Inspiron 3542 with Ubuntu 14.04, the following fails:

$ sudo apt-get install libamd2.2.0 libumfpack5.4.0  libatlas-sse2-dev

with the errors:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libatlas-sse2-dev 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: Unable to locate package libamd2.2.0
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libamd2.2.0'
E: Unable to locate package libumfpack5.4.0
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libumfpack5.4.0'
E: Package 'libatlas-sse2-dev' has no installation candidate

BTW,I did try sudo apt-get update first.

With other computers this always worked for me before. How can I fix that?

The first two library packages are now libamd2.3.1 and libunfpack5.6.2. As for the last package, libatlas-sse2-dev is a virtual package, which means it no longer exists as a standalone package, but might be provided by some other package (that I haven't found yet).

  • Thanks!!! How did u find out the new version numbers? is there a way to tell apt-get to just get the newest one? – eran Aug 16 '14 at 10:28
  • Tab completion. After typing in sudo apt-get install libamd, if you hit tab, you should see what packages you can install. – saiarcot895 Aug 16 '14 at 12:10
