i tried installing openssh-server with this command
sudo apt-get -y openssh-server
and this is the response i got
Package openssh-server is not available, but is refereeed to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted or is only available from another source
E: Package openssh-server has no installation candidate
kindly assist to overcome this problem.

I assume you meant
sudo apt-get install -y openssh-server
It should be available in the Main repository. What release are you using? Also, do you know which mirror you are using?

The package in synaptic for 12.10 is named openssh-server. It could be -y causing the problem.

Please don't duplicate the same post in two places. It dilutes the answers you get and is not helpful.
To answer your question, however, the command should be
sudo apt-get install openssh-server
I'm surprised your command did anything, or did you simply mistype your command in this post?

-y is an option for apt-get that shouldn't be causing any problems.
Actually, based on the typos in the terminal outputs, I would say the OP is not using copy and paste.
