No Installation candidates found for gitolite

I am trying to install git and gitolite with the command sudo apt-get -y install git gitolite. It gives me the following output:

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Package gitolite 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 'gitolite' has no installation candidate

I tried updating apt-get, but that didn't do anything. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

For Xenial Xerus:

andrew@athens:~$ apt-cache search gitolite

gitolite3 - SSH-based gatekeeper for git repositories (version 3)

git-notifier - git commit email notification script

andrew@athens:~$

So your command should be:

sudo apt-get install git gitolite3

This has changed from older versions of Ubuntu...
