Unable to install packages with apt-get
0
I was trying to install vim and g++ but I couldn't. Presently I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I tried all that I went through the net, but no use. This how it appears every time I do.
root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install vim vim-scripts vim-doc vim-latexsuite vim-gui-common vim gnome
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package vim 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 'vim' has no installation candidate
E: Unable to locate package vim-scripts
E: Unable to locate package vim-doc
E: Unable to locate package vim-latexsuite
E: Unable to locate package vim-gui-common
E: Package 'vim' has no installation candidate

How do I fix this?

Have you tried doing aapt-get updateprior to installing? Have you enabled the repositories containing the packages? Easy way to check enabled repositories is to peek inside/etc/apt/sources.list.

You are trying to install a package named 'gnome', that does not seem like a fully valid package name:
E: Unable to locate package gnome
Remove 'gnome' from your command and try again:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vim vim-scripts vim-doc vim-latexsuite vim-gui-common
