I downloaded Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS and installed the iso file as a virtual machine in VirtualBox running on Windows 7.

I enabled the universe repository:

sudo add-apt-repository universe

I got this result:

'universe' distribution component enabled for all sources

I updated:

sudo apt-get update

I got this result:

AppStream cache update failed

I then tried to download a package:

sudo apt-get install mtp-tools

I got this result:

E:  Unable to locate package mtp-tools

    Thanks for the update! There is no libmtp package in Xenial, however there is a libmtp9 package. Though I don't know what you hope to achieve with its installation since it doesn't contain any executables. Considering the content of the linked article, do you you perhaps mean to install mtp-tools or mtpfs? Those contain directly useful utilities that depend on libmtp9 and will install it as a dependency. – David Foerster Dec 16 '17 at 12:32
