Following instructions for perfect Ubuntu server 20.04 using 22.04 Unable to find getmail4 and see that Debian says it has been removed from all repositories (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/getmail4 ) Is there an alternative?
Thanks Th0m. That bit I'm on top of and I've dropped back and installed 20.04. The problem is when following the perfect server instructions it asks to install getmail4 and I get a message that no longer exists in any repository and is no longer maintained (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/getmail4 )
getmail4 exists on Ubuntu 20.04. See here: Code: root@server1:/home/administrator# cat /etc/os-release NAME="Ubuntu" VERSION="20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa)" ID=ubuntu ID_LIKE=debian PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS" VERSION_ID="20.04" HOME_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/" SUPPORT_URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/" PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy" VERSION_CODENAME=focal UBUNTU_CODENAME=focal root@server1:/home/administrator# apt-cache search getmail ax25mail-utils - hamradio packet utilities for fbb getmail - mail retriever with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SDPS getmail4 - transitional dummy package mblaze - UNIX utilities to deal with Maildir Most likely your sources.list file is not correct or you are not on Ubuntu 20.04 when apt tells you that getmail4 does not exist.
The Ubuntu package tracker lists it as well btw: https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=getmail&searchon=names&suite=focal§ion=all You used the package search for Debian and not Ubuntu, which lists Debian packages only and not the ones in Ubuntu.
My apologies for taking up your time. I'd accidentally tried to load wrong version of ubuntu and hadn't realised.
