Subversion is not available now?

[LI, NING]

Dear Sirs,

Now why it says "E: Unable to locate package subversion" and "E: Unable to locate package libapache2-svn" by issuing command "$ apt-get install subversion" and "$ apt-get install libapache2-svn", respectively?

These commands are listed on your web page "http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#ubuntu", and I successfully download and install them a few days ago.

Subversion is a dependency of other free softwares, GMT and GMTSAR. I need it to work for something.

Thank you for the help!

Ning.

Hi,

this isn't an official Ubuntu website, only the link to the Ubuntu
package search is a link to an official Ubuntu website.

First of all

$ apt-get install foo

can not work, because an install requires root privileges, IOW it must
be

$ sudo apt-get install foo

in addition, you need to ensure that the package index is synced, so
first you need to run

$ sudo apt-get update

it could be that you also need to upgrade your install, assumed the
software you want to install depends on a dedicated version of
something that is already installed, but outdated.

At minimum you need to run

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get subversion libapache2-svn

Perhaps an upgrade is required, then you need to run

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get subversion libapache2-svn

The appropriate mailing list for such a request isn't this list, it's
