ubuntu - git installation error missing installation candidate -


i tried installing git on ubuntu 12.10 using command sudo apt-get install git. getting error message this:

reading package lists... done building dependency tree        reading state information... done package git not available, referred package. may mean package missing, has been obsoleted, or available source  e: package 'git' has no installation candidate 

what supposed further?

the git package should installable. in principle if occurs, should verify following.

  • make sure contents of /etc/apt/sources.list file sane. should contain this:

    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 
  • make sure have run apt-get update before trying install git.

note above sources.list precise (12.04). 12.10 called quantal. note 12.10 not supported more (eol may 2014 - see here). solution problem might package sources 12.10 don't exist more on server, message in fact correct: on server there no candidate more...

the solution upgrade @ least next lts version (14.04).
