Public bug reported:

On 18.04 I want to be able to run the xset command but it is not
installed.

The man page says it is part of x11-server-utils:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/xset.1.html

But  when I try to install it is not found (even though it says it is
referred to by another package).

$ sudo apt-get install x11-server-utils
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package x11-server-utils 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 'x11-server-utils' has no installation candidate


I am running this version:

$ lsb_release -rd
