Cannot Install Package 'traceroute' On Ubuntu

Hello everybody

I am running Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca with the Cinnamon Desktop.

I have experiences with the ubuntu derivatives and ffmpeg and avconv are always avavilable the repos, this time both aren't available

Here are the commands I typed:

apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade

After the packages were upgraded. I ran these commands. Below are there outputs.

Quote:
apt-get install ffmpeg
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package ffmpeg 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 'ffmpeg' has no installation candidate

apt-get install avconv
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package avconv
This nevered happened to me before with linux mint in prior versions.

Any ideas?

Hello All

I am still working out the basics of Linux.
I have a Centos 7 install. I cannot get this RPM to install. It installs fine under Centos 6.

What am I doing wrong? I really need a GUI Find and Replace program!
--skip broken does not work either.

Thanks in advance
Scott

I would like to use yum to install package , but how do I know the package name that I should use , for example , if I want to use ldapsearch , I tried "yum install ldapsearch" , it doesn't work , how can I know what package name to install , what package includes this command - "yum install packname" ?

thanks

Hello sir,
I am new in linux.I am trying to install ns2.35 allinone package on ubuntu13.04 so can you pls suggest me the steps to install ns2.35 on ubuntu

Running mint 17.1 (64 bit) Cinnamon

I've spent a bunch of time trying to troubleshoot my setup of my ftp. Currently trying to get it to work using the virtual users option. I am following this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518293. I've hit a snag that I can't seem to get around. The libdb3-util is where I'm having trouble. When I input the code "sudo apt-get install libdb3-util" my results are as follows:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libdb3-util

I have searched around a little, found someone else that had a similar problem, and was able to use db4.7-util to correct their problem. However, when I attempted this, it was unsuccessful. Is there a newer libdb/db I should be installing? If so, when I install it will it alter any of the code I've used from the guide?

I've been following the guide verbatum from the start of "Virtual users with TLS/SSL/FTPS and a common upload directory - Complicated vsftpd" and have stalled at the point of installing the libdb3-util.

i decided to post this as a new thread seeing how it's a recurring problem for me, and i still haven't found good recursive software to download dependancies from a website when some of the packages aren't in the repos or my linux doesn't have the correct repos in the sources file.

i used dpkg -i and it did not work. i know i can install this with recursion software, however the trend is heading toward arch with linux, so distro agnostic linuxes and parent distros which install tarballs and compile without many bugs automatically are what all linux developers should be supporting first and foremost.

this brings me to my question, there are a lot of applications and dependancies not included in repositories, and not included in your current aptitude (or whatever automated dependancy program you prefer to use to download packages) unless you modify the repo source file, so sources.list or whatever for debian. why do forum answers simply refer newbies and half newbies to using commands with bugs, instead of considering the repository doesn't have the neccessary packages, or that the user needs to add the websites to the sources in their distro before using automated package grabber commands/software? it's quite possible the person who posted the package did not submit it to the linux repo, or has not submitted it yet. some devs are too lazy to put any of their software in any repo.

there are websites like github which seem to be attempting to correct this problem, but it still begs the question, what is good recursion software or a recursive command which works and downloads the dependancies when not in the repositories with the least amount of bugs? theroetically it would be easier to use gui software which has innate recursion and copy and paste the web address of the binary, rather than modify the source file every time you want to download a package with missing dependances.

here was an example of my output downloading a current wheezy kernel in order to make a custom debian image

Ubuntu 14.10 runs great on my laptop but I think I have dependency problems because EVERY time I install or remove software I get the following error message. However everything seems to run just fine...

"Package operation failed"
"The installation or removal of a software package failed."

...and details shows a massive list of gobbledygook with a lot of:

"insserv: Starting vpnagentd_init depends on rc.local and therefore on system facility `$all' which can not be true!"

I can post the whole message but I'll wait for feedback first.
