  • Have you tried sudo apt-get update as suggested in the answer you linked? If that didn't work, the issue seems to be with the repos you've enabled. Can you list out which repos you've enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list? – Prahlad Yeri Jan 25 '16 at 20:31
  • Please [edit] your question and add the output of apt-cache policy build-essential libc6-dev libc-dev g++ libpcap-dev libpcap0.8-dev libpq-dev krb5-multidev comerr-dev libsqlite3-dev postgresql postgresql-9.3 zlib1g-dev. Then leave a short comment when you're done to notify me, please. – Byte Commander Jan 25 '16 at 20:35
