"apt-cache search autoconf" will show possible packages that contain the
string "autoconf."
"apt-cache show <packagename>" will give you a description of the package.

2008/4/9 Dale Schumacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I've just done a clean install of Ubuntu 7.10 and am trying to follow the
instructions from the Toolchain wiki page. When I try the command:
sudo apt-get install gcc g++ autoconf automake binutils libtools ...
I get this error message:
Package autoconf 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: Pacakge autoconf has no installation candidate
Since this is a fresh install, I expect I may not have the right setup to
install all the developer goodies. Can someone suggest a clean way to
resolve this issue? I would be happy to update the wiki page with better
instructions once my issue is resolved.
Thanks!
