apt-get install command is not able to fetch packages from ubuntu repositary
Hi All,
I have been working on Redhat family of distributions since past 1 year. Two days back I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. I am novice to Package Management in Debian family of Linux distributions.
My Internet connection is working fine. But I am not able to install any package with apt-get package Manager.
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list file
Code:
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid universe
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates universe
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse
deb http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse
deb-src http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main restricted
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security universe
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security multiverse
Here is output of apt-get install command
Code:
root@vinay-laptop:/etc/init.d# apt-get install mysqld
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package mysqld
What could be the problem ? Is it necessary to make any changes in /etc/apt/sources.list file ?
I executed apt-update as you suggested. I got few messages shown below.
I am not posting whole output of apt-update, as it is very long. I have posted a part of the output here, which constitutes two types of lines in my whole output.
Seems like your DNS configuration is unable to resolve the address.
Try pinging to this server from Windows/any other Linux DNS Client.
It will inform you with IP.
Put that IP under /etc/hosts or under /etc/apt/source.list instead of hostname.
Do Check /etc/resolv.conf too.
Other than the network issues already mentioned, are you sure that the package name really is "mysqld". I suspect that the package you want is actually mysql-server. Try using "apt-cache search" to find the actual package name.
Now names are getting resolved by DNS. But I am caught with bad header error.

As evo2 said it is mysql-server

Still facing same error..Could anyone please help me with this...
I'm having a similar issue. I can't get past the login on my computer, and the fix to that needs root with networking. Any manual way to connect to the internet in root? Very new to this.
I had the same error on a new install. It looked like a DNS issue. So I configured my network connection to use OpenDNS directly, rather than via my router. That seems to have solved the problem.
Right-click network icon, select "edit connections"
Select the connection you are using at the moment.
Click "edit"
Select the "IPv4 settings" tab
Set method to "Automatic (DHCP) addresses only"
Then input "208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220" into the DNS servers box
Exit, reset the network connection and retry "apt-get update"
you might be required to be at a specific location, or behind a proxy / vpn.
My work gave me a laptop that requires this, and fails for the same reasons. I am trying to find a way to replace their GPG key with a nice one that lets me update anywhere
