Package 'python-virtualenv' has no installation candidate

[Hendrik du Toit]

I get the following error in step 1 of "Preparing for installation on Ubuntu" (https://www.reahl.org/docs/5.0/tutorial/install-ubuntu.d.html)

sudo apt-get install python3-dev gcc cython python-virtualenv

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

Package python-virtualenv 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 'python-virtualenv' has no installation candidate

Hi Hendrik,

yes the package used to be called python-virtualenv on older versions of Ubuntu, however on newer versions (since Ubuntu 20.04) it is rather referred to as python3-virtualenv. Our docs need to be updated accordingly. If you execute the command in Ubuntu 20.04, it will work:

sudo apt-get install python3-dev gcc cython python3-virtualenv

Appreciate the heads up.

Craig.
