E Package Libauthen-pam-perl Has No Installation Candidate
Installing Webmin on Ubuntu Linux (Server edition). E: Package libauthen-pam-perl has no installation. Does anyone know how to install libauthen-pam-perl. Fail webmin install, E: Package webmin has no installation candidate. Openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam. Package is available in the.
What does the above Error mean? What is an installation candidate? I was trying to do sudo apt-get install munin-memcached and I get this message: Reading package lists. Done Building dependency tree Reading state information. Done Package munin-memcached 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 munin-memcached has no installation candidate I googled for the problem and someone said to do a apt-get upgrade but it still did not solve my problem.
This happens when you are trying to install a package about which APT does not have any idea. When you add software sources and then do an apt-get update your system APT's database is updated with all the packages on the repositories listed in software sources list. Then when you try to install any package, apt checks the package name in it's database, finds it and checks the name of the repo from where it got it. It then downloads the package from that repo. This means of all the repositories listed in your software sources, none of them have the package named munin-memcached. I checked again and it is not available in official ubuntu repos.
After a bit of googling I found that it is available in a PPA Add this PPA and install the packages at your own risk. I do not know this person. To Add the PPA issue below command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chris-lea/munin-plugins To install package munin-memcached issue below command: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install munin-memcached.
Virtualbox-guest-x11 Has No Installation Candidate
I have tried to install Webmin using apt-get install webmin I get the following error:- The following packages have unmet dependencies: webmin: Depends: libnet-ssleay-perl but it is not installable Depends: libauthen-pam-perl but it is not installable Depends: libio-pty-perl but it is not installable Depends: libmd5-perl but it is not installable So I then run the following:- apt-get install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perk libpam runtime libio-pty-perl libmd5-perl Reports back Package libnet-ssleay-perl 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 libnet-ssleay-perl has no installation candidate Where or how do I get this package as I assume Webmin wil not work until I install this.

The secret is in -f.
This will force install the missing modules the webmin refuses to fetch in the first place for some reason. You have to run the command as per webmin's web-site official instructions but adding -f like that: apt-get -f install perl libnet-ssleay-perl openssl libauthen-pam-perl libpam-runtime libio-pty-perl apt-show-versions python then run the following commanad to finish it up apt-get -f install It will then ask you if you want to install these missing modules and you are to press Y. It does not return any errors and installs everything just perfectly. I am also quite new to all this and usually I web-develop so I guess it was easier for me to figure it all out (took me about an hour) whereas I think it would be much harder for a total newbie. I hope it will help someone esle too as giving a hand may come back to you later when you might be in need for it yourself. My grandfather always said, 'Do 'good' and throw it in water'.
