[poojasaraff]

When i type the following in my shell:

sudo apt-get install git-core gnupg vim flex bison gperf build-essential \
zip curl zlib1g-dev libc6-dev lib32ncurses5-dev ia32-libs \
x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev lib32readline5-dev lib32z-dev \
libgl1-mesa-dev g++-multilib mingw32 tofrodos python-markdown \
libxml2-utils sun-java6-jdk

it says:
E: couldn't find the package gnup
---------------------------------------------------
I tried to google bt I am not sure if gnup is same as GnuPG. What should I do next?

Thanks

have you tried install gnupg alone ,. just try to install alone.may be by that we can found which package is the exact cause for errors.

All the best.

hmmm, gnupg is supposed to be installed as default during installation otherwise checking of the sigs will not work at all.

[raja.genupula]

ok then first try to install gnupg alone .:D. hope it works .

Let us know what you got .

I tried to install gnupg and I got following :
(Reading database ... 124678 files and directories currently installed.)

------------------------------------------------------------
I am not sure if installation is done.. since it never gave me confirmation.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I tried my previous command again however it still says: couldnt fine the pakage gnup.

P.S. - 1. i did check thru ubuntu software center and it says GnuPG installed
2. I am using ubuntu as a guest OS on windows

Thanks

it just reinstalled it

gnupg is part of the distro in any case, otherwise you could not really install uch from the repository probably as it is used to check the signature of the files.
So no need to install it, unless for some reason someone managed to unistall it for no particular reason.

@ottosykora : thanks

What does then "gnup" stand for? I tried googling (no help) I wonder if there is something like gnup :D
