I was installing the Atom text editor on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Bionic Beaver using the command:-



sudo apt-get install atom


I stopped the installation process and now whenever I run the command:-



sudo apt update


The following is the output:-



Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/atom/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
All packages are up to date.


Whenever I try to install Atom again, I get the following output:-



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
atom : Depends: gvfs-bin but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Now, whenever I try to install a package from the terminal using:



sudo apt-get install "package-name"


I get some output showing: This package has no installation candidate.



For example, if I install rpm, the output is:-



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package rpm 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 'rpm' has no installation candidate


[*Edit]
Now, when I run sudo apt update everything is fine but there's this weird output at the last:-



E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

  • @RubberStamp ... thank you for trying to solve my problem... shekhar@shekhar-desktop:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list && cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory But when I enter the commands separately:- shekhar@shekhar-desktop:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory shekhar@shekhar-desktop:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* This second command displays a large output. The comment section is running out of characters.

    Well... it looks like you have removed the default repo list. The entirety of your apt sources are PPAs. You'll need to recreate the default /etc/apt/sources.list file for your version of Ubuntu.... From your PPAs, it looks like you are running 18.04 LTS ... There's already a question with an answer on AskUbuntu...

I was installing the Atom text editor on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Bionic Beaver using the command:-



sudo apt-get install atom


I stopped the installation process and now whenever I run the command:-



sudo apt update


The following is the output:-



Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/atom/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
All packages are up to date.


Whenever I try to install Atom again, I get the following output:-



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
atom : Depends: gvfs-bin but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Now, whenever I try to install a package from the terminal using:



sudo apt-get install "package-name"


I get some output showing: This package has no installation candidate.



For example, if I install rpm, the output is:-



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package rpm 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 'rpm' has no installation candidate


[*Edit]
Now, when I run sudo apt update everything is fine but there's this weird output at the last:-



E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

  • @RubberStamp ... thank you for trying to solve my problem... shekhar@shekhar-desktop:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list && cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory But when I enter the commands separately:- shekhar@shekhar-desktop:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list cat: /etc/apt/sources.list: No such file or directory shekhar@shekhar-desktop:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* This second command displays a large output. The comment section is running out of characters.

    Well... it looks like you have removed the default repo list. The entirety of your apt sources are PPAs. You'll need to recreate the default /etc/apt/sources.list file for your version of Ubuntu.... From your PPAs, it looks like you are running 18.04 LTS ... There's already a question with an answer on AskUbuntu...

I was installing the Atom text editor on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Bionic Beaver using the command:-



sudo apt-get install atom


I stopped the installation process and now whenever I run the command:-



sudo apt update


The following is the output:-



Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/atom/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
All packages are up to date.


Whenever I try to install Atom again, I get the following output:-



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
atom : Depends: gvfs-bin but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Now, whenever I try to install a package from the terminal using:



sudo apt-get install "package-name"


I get some output showing: This package has no installation candidate.



For example, if I install rpm, the output is:-



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package rpm 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 'rpm' has no installation candidate


[*Edit]
Now, when I run sudo apt update everything is fine but there's this weird output at the last:-



E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

I was installing the Atom text editor on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Bionic Beaver using the command:-



sudo apt-get install atom


I stopped the installation process and now whenever I run the command:-



sudo apt update


The following is the output:-



Hit:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/webupd8team/atom/ubuntu bionic InRelease
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
All packages are up to date.


Whenever I try to install Atom again, I get the following output:-



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
atom : Depends: gvfs-bin but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Now, whenever I try to install a package from the terminal using:



sudo apt-get install "package-name"


I get some output showing: This package has no installation candidate.



For example, if I install rpm, the output is:-



Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package rpm 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 'rpm' has no installation candidate


[*Edit]
Now, when I run sudo apt update everything is fine but there's this weird output at the last:-



E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

    Well... it looks like you have removed the default repo list. The entirety of your apt sources are PPAs. You'll need to recreate the default /etc/apt/sources.list file for your version of Ubuntu.... From your PPAs, it looks like you are running 18.04 LTS ...

It looks like the main repository list file has been deleted.



The following command will provide the original base /etc/apt/sources.list file obtained from the downloaded image file for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.



sudo echo -e "# Sources.list obtained directly from the downloaded Ubuntu iso image filendeb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restrictedndeb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restrictedndeb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted" > /etc/apt/sources.list


Once the main repo source file has been created, you will need to update the apt-cache:



sudo apt-get update



At this point, you may get errors depending on whether some of your PPAs conflict with the main repo. It is advisable to disable all your PPAs before attempting to fix your repo issues. However, that may also produce errors if some of the software installed from the individual PPAs require newer libraries than the official Ubuntu.



If you don't encounter any errors when updating, you might be OK. However, you may need to enable the less restricted repo list below. You may replace the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with the following repo list:



#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 18.04 LTS _Bionic Beaver_ - Release amd64 (20180426)]/ bionic main restricted

# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to

@RubberStamp ... I was unable to comment in the comment-section. It said user does not have permission to comment on this post.



Anyway, not only for atom, but for any package I try to install the output is either



E: Unable to locate package "package-name"


or



E: Package "package-name" has no installation candidate

    It looks like the main repository list file has been deleted.



    The following command will provide the original base /etc/apt/sources.list file obtained from the downloaded image file for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.



    sudo echo -e "# Sources.list obtained directly from the downloaded Ubuntu iso image filendeb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restrictedndeb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-security main restrictedndeb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted" > /etc/apt/sources.list


    Once the main repo source file has been created, you will need to update the apt-cache:



    sudo apt-get update



    At this point, you may get errors depending on whether some of your PPAs conflict with the main repo. It is advisable to disable all your PPAs before attempting to fix your repo issues. However, that may also produce errors if some of the software installed from the individual PPAs require newer libraries than the official Ubuntu.



    If you don't encounter any errors when updating, you might be OK. However, you may need to enable the less restricted repo list below. You may replace the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list with the following repo list:
