I am trying to install:

 sudo apt-get install pass

from https://www.passwordstore.org/.

But I get the error:

sudo apt-get install pass
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package pass

How to fix this error?

When I try:

apt policy pass
N: Unable to locate package pass

  • https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=pass&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all shows it's found in 'universe', have you enabled that? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu – guiverc Sep 03 '20 at 03:20
  • @guiverc The universe is enabled for all sources but pass is still not working – Sie Tw Sep 03 '20 at 03:25

    Something is wrong with your sources list. Did you do `sudo apt update` after adding universe? – Organic Marble Sep 03 '20 at 03:26
  • @OrganicMarble I tried now: still after the sudo apt update, I get: pass Command 'pass' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install pass – Sie Tw Sep 03 '20 at 03:29

    I would suggest you `sudo apt update` and read the output from the command. If you're not familiar with reading that output looking for issues/errors (invalid or missing sources, a *out-of-date* mirror used etc), you can provide it for us to look at, but I suspect you'll see the issue there. The command `apt-cache policy pass` I would expect would show where it will come from, however in your case your issue is likely sources and thus `sudo apt update` will reveal problems. – guiverc Sep 03 '20 at 03:58

    Please run `sudo apt-add-repository universe ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install pass` and then share output of `which pass` and `/usr/bin/pass --version` . – N0rbert Sep 03 '20 at 05:41
