Well this error could be possibly of two things ,

  1. You might not have the info about s-nail package in your ubuntu package cache.
  2. You won't be having universe repo of xenial.

I recommend you to follow the steps below.

echo "deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install s-nail

  • $ sudo echo "deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe" >> /etc/apt/sources.list bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied – A.B. Aug 22 '16 at 19:11
  • become privileged user first to avoid denial of permission. So run this command sudo -i then run the former commands. – SAGAR Nair Aug 23 '16 at 06:07
