On Ubuntu 19.10, eoan, how to install sqlite3 package?

  • 772

Given the normal install on eoan, I'm failing to install sqlite3. What gives?

  $ apt -u install sqlite3

This leads to the following error:

Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

  1. The problem was that I did not have all the needed eoan repos:

    Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list:

      $ sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list

    Then add the following lines at the end:

    deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu eoan partner
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security main restricted

    Save and quit. Then upgrade:

      $ sudo apt update
  $ sudo apt -u dist-upgrade
