explain this install command

[dd1313]

Hi Guys

I picked up this code from here http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_6.06_p4


apt-get install binutils cpp cpp-4.0 fetchmail flex gcc gcc-4.0 libarchive-zip-perl libc6-dev libcompress-zlib-perl libdb4.3-dev libpcre3 libpopt-dev linux-kernel-headers lynx m4 make ncftp nmap openssl perl perl-modules unzip zip zlib1g-dev autoconf automake1.9 libtool bison autotools-dev g++


I then get the following response


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package ncftp

What does that mean please ?

I am using 6.06 LTS server

can someone help me with a line feed after each install above so I know the names of the packages.

THanks

Pretty straightforward. You've got the package 'ncftp' listed in your install command and its not being found by apt. Remove it from the string and try running it again.
