What does

apt-cache policy git

tells to you?

What do you have in your /etc/apt/source.list ?

I have no idea what "openstack" is, but somewhere down your message I
noticed the word "lucid" which hints what you describe might be
happening on an Ubuntu system -- is that true?  If it is, why did not
you tell us anything about your setup?  Posting an output of running

lsb_release -a

would be just enough.  Please do.

[git-users] error: GIt has no installation candidate

2013-06-06 Thread Deepak Selvaraj


I am trying to install Openstack in my new virtual machine, but I am 
getting a error saying the package git is not available and it says package 
git has no installation candidate. But I already installed git using sudo 
apt get install git .. Could someone please help me sorting it out ?

these are the steps that I follow 1. sudo apt-get install git

s... Done Building dependency tree 
Reading state information... Done Package git 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 git 
has no installation candidate //error that i got

   1. I tried installing openstack through devstack using the following 
   commands

git clone https://github.com/openstack-dev/devstack.git cd devstack; 
./stack.sh

I got a warning: this script has not been tested on lucid [ERROR] 
./stack.sh:148 If you wish to run this script anyway run with FORCE=yes

later when i followed the above command FORCE = yes ./stack.sh I got an 
error as follow

Package git 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 git has no installation candidate
