    [SOLVED] not able to get libc dev package

    have just switched to mint and want to install the drivers for NVIDIA graphics card. The proprietary drivers require libc development package.
    When I try to install linux-libc-dev package from synaptic it gives me following error.

    W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/po...18.32_i386.deb
    404 Not Found

    don't know where to get this package.
    Please help


    EDIT: OK I got the package from changing the repository but still on running the NVIDIA driver package it tells me that I do not have the libc header files for my distribution


    Thanks,
    Aman

    The package that I installed was... I dont remember the exact name but it was something like libc6-dev
    You can search synaptic for libc6-dev

    Also the libraries are present at http://mirror.its.ac.id/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/
