I'm trying to run the following on 8.10

sudo apt-get install patch

The system comes back with:

E: Couldn't find package patch


Is this because 8.10 isn't officially released yet and is there any way around it?

thanks,
Bill

Maybe try changing the server you use under Software Sources (System>Admin>Software Sources) you should have no problem downloading it. If you want you can also download it manually and install it from here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/patch)
