I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
Ruinning cat /etc/apt/sources.list
shows:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted universe multiverse
but if I run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mlocate locate
I get
Package locate is a virtual package provided by:
locate:i386 4.4.2-4ubuntu1 [Not candidate version]
E: Package 'mlocate' has no installation candidate
E: Package 'locate' has no installation candidate
Please help! I never realised how much I depend on the find command..
Cheers,
Paul
