Unable to locate package boot-repair in 14.04 [duplicate]

  • 772

I've tried to install boot repair and failed

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update

The error is:

$ sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package boot-repair

I've never had this error before on other versions of Ubuntu or Mint, though.

apt

  1. You can use the following commands to install boot-repair in Ubuntu 14-04 :-

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
sudo sh -c "sed -i 's/trusty/saucy/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yannubuntu-boot-repair-trusty.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair

  2. I got the same problem.

    Boot-repair doesnt support 14.04 yet https://bugs.launchpad.net/boot-repair/+bug/1267702

    My solution is to use boot-repair disk iso, it works for 14.04 http://sourceforge.net/projects/boot-repair-cd/files/
