I am running said packet install from an internet tutorial.
Who wrote that tutorial and where does it point you to get the packages
from?
Antony.
Hmm, it says execute the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spamassassin
Without any further params. How am I supposed to know where that command does
get its package from???

Christian,
Use the "apt show spamassassin" command to show the information about the
spamassassin package.
One of the lines of output will be something like:
APT-Sources: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/main amd64
Packages
That will tell you the package repository that it's getting that particular
package from.
For more info about the collection of sources that 'apt' & 'apt-get' are using
look at the "sources.list" config files in /etc/apt/ directory.
