What does it say..when you executed $ apt-get install git command??

Package git is not available, but it is referred to by another package.This may mean package is missing,has been obsoleted,or is only available from another source.
E:Package git has no installation candidate

Ubuntu 10.04 is from the time when the package name 'git-core' was used for git.

Please try : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git-core

Hello！I have the same ERROR when installing git on debian ，and I tried ：sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install git-core.

But,this ERROR still exists:

What can I do now? Can you give me some advices? Thank you for your kindness.

Ah, I didn't realise that Nai Nai had necroed this thread.

@Nai Nai, welcome to Linux Questions. You may want to introduce yourself in the LinuxQuestions.org Member Intro thread. You should really have created a new thread for your problem, particularly because it refers to a different distro.

Nai Nai · 08-06-2016, 09:48 AM

OK,I will create a new thread.
Thank you very much,hydrurga.
