Is anyone else running into this. The files that apt-get have been unable to find so far are ncftp php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-pspell proftpd I’m sure that like the ncftp is I open a web browser and manually search archive.ubuntu.com I can find them, but I can’t get apt-get to install them SOLVED I ran apt-get update then apt-upgrade then the proftpd package was available. Don't know what that does, but it worked for proftpd
apt-get update updates your local database of available packages. You must run this whenever you change /etc/apt/sources.list so that the system knows what packages are available.
ubuntu 6.06 E: Couldn't find package php5-imap I tried "apt-get update" as you suggested above, but when I went back and tried: apt-get install php5-imap php5-mcrypt php5-pspell I still received the "Couldn't find package" error listed in Step 13 of the perfect install. Any suggestions? I don't want to continue since I'm such a noob, I'm afriad I'll mess something up! Thanks!
You have to uncomment the multiverse and universe repositorys in your /etc/apt/sources.list and then run apt-get update again.
Thank you! Thank you Till! That fixed the problem with one server that I'm operating. I'm going to search the forums before I post the question about the second!
