My current RePo is:
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
but if i try to install GNU Screen this happens:
sudo apt-get install screen
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package screen 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: Package 'screen' has no installation candidate
Try and run sudo apt-get update first.
Make sure all packages update. I just had an issue where they weren't updating completely. Once they finished, I was able to install screen.

For anyone who is having problens with Conduktor on Ubuntu 20:
Ubuntu 20 updated from libffi6 (required by Conduktor) to libffi7, so you'll end up with this error:
$ sudo apt install ./Conduktor-2.7.5.deb

You can fix it this way:
download libffi6 here http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/libf/libffi/libffi6_3.2.1-8_amd64.deb
instal it: $ sudo apt install ./libffi6_3.2.1-8_amd64.deb
now, with success, install Conduktor: $ sudo apt install ./Conduktor-2.7.5.deb
It seems Conduktor does not support Ubuntu 16.04, the libglx0 library is only available starting from bionic (18.04 LTS): https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?lang=en&keywords=libglx0&searchon=names
This command helped me:

I'm trying to install Visual studio code.
My Raspb. Version is:
Distributor ID: Raspbian
Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.8 (stretch)

I tried several method (starting to download .deb and using dpkg or install command) but nothing worked.
How can I fix this problem? I really need VSC because my project is growing and Geany messes up.
Downloaded .deb and .tar files from the official site, followed the setup instruction but I got this error

"package architecture (amd64) does not match system (armhf)"
"package architecture (i386) does not match system (armhf)"

I'm getting mad about this problem, I tried older repository but they don't work.
There are Community builds of Visual Studio Code available (for Raspberry Pi and other ARM and Intel systems).
The packages are currently available in DEB and RPM format. You can use the scripts provided here to install the packages and add their repository to your system or install it manually.
Below I summarized the steps:
Open a new terminal. If you need super-user rights (you probably do), then you can enter sudo -s and press return to enter a super-user session. Run the installer for your current distribution:
APT instructions
(including Debian, Raspbian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint)
. <( wget -O - https://code.headmelted.com/installers/apt.sh )
Press the return key. Once the installer has completed, you should have a "Code - OSS" entry in your desktop program list.
Manual installation
If for any reason the script above will not work on your system, or you do not want to add the package source for updates, you can get the latest version of the package for your system below.
Public GPG key
For either APT or YUM installation, you'll want the public GPG key to verify the package, which you can download here.
APT and YUM packages
The latest packages are available directly from the PackageCloud releases page.
The specific package you need is available here.
EDIT:
At this time (29.04.2019) the current release (v. 1.32) appears not to be working for everybody. See: issue#64. Seems that you'll have to go back to v. 1.29, which is reported to be running fine.
You can choose this package and install it manually, or use APT. If you decide to install it via APT, note that you'll have to mark the package on hold as described below.
To prevent code-oss from upgrading (so that you can keep v. 1.29 until the issue is fixed) follow these instructions:
Install v. 1.29 via APT:
apt-get install code-oss=1.29.0-1539702286
Then mark it on hold by running:
apt-mark hold code-oss
Now running apt-get upgrade won't try to bump it up until you run:
apt-mark unhold code-oss
This will allow it to upgrade again as usual.
I am trying to install kafka on on centOS using this page .
https://docs.confluent.io/current/installation/installing_cp/rhel-centos.html
but getting this error
No package confluent-community-2.11 available.
After running this page command
sudo yum clean all && sudo yum install confluent-community-2.11
It seem no rpm is given here: https://packages.confluent.io/rpm/5.1/7
You need both repos added to yum, not just the 5.1/7 (which has some specific additional packages, not the main confluent-community-2.11 package)
Following this guide but unable to install cfdisk.
sudo apt-get install cfdisk
returns
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to locate package cfdisk
RPi Model B, running Raspbian
This is because the cfdisk utility is not shipped in a cfdisk package but in the util-linux package.
aptitude install util-linux
I am writing a post-install script for Ubuntu in Perl (same script as seen here). One of the steps is to install a list of packages. The problem is that if apt-get install fails in some of many different ways for any one of the packages the script dies badly. I would like to prevent that from happening.
This happens because of the ways that apt-get install fails for packages that it doesn't like. For example when I try to install a nonsense word (i.e. typed in the wrong package name)
$ sudo apt-get install oblihbyvl
Reading package lists... Done

but if instead the package name has been obsoleted (installing handbrake from ppa)
$ sudo apt-get install handbrake
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package handbrake 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: Package 'handbrake' has no installation candidate
$ apt-cache search handbrake
handbrake-cli - versatile DVD ripper and video transcoder - command line
handbrake-gtk - versatile DVD ripper and video transcoder - GTK GUI
etc, etc ...
I have tried parsing the results of apt-cache and apt-get -s install to try to catch all possibilities before doing the install, but I seem to keep finding new ways to allow failures to continue to the actual install system command.
My question is, is there some facility either in Perl (e.g. a module, though I would like to avoid installing modules if possible as this is supposed to be the first thing run after a new install of Ubuntu) or apt-* or dpkg that would let me be sure that the packages are all available to be installed before installing and if not fail gracefully in some way that lets the user decide what to do?
N.B. I am doing something along the lines of:
my #list_of_install_candidates = (...);
my #to_install = grep { my $output = qx{ apt-get -s install $_ }; parse_output($output); } #list_of_install_candidates;
system('apt-get', 'install', #to_install);
You might try apt-cache policy. examples:
$ apt-cache policy handbrake
handbrake:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: (none)
Version table:
$ apt-cache policy foo
N: Unable to locate package foo
$ apt-cache policy openbox
openbox:
Installed: 3.4.11.1-1
Candidate: 3.4.11.1-1
Version table:
*** 3.4.11.1-1 0
500 http://mirrors.xmission.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Anything with a non-blank version table should be installable.
