I'm running Ubuntu 18,04. So I need the certutil command on my system for a custom package we have made. On .deb systems the package that provides this tool is called libnss3-tools. However, when I tried to install this package it comes up with the following error:
$ sudo apt-get install libnss3-tools
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libnss3-tools is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
I thought maybe the package name has changed so when I tried to run the certutil list command I get the following error telling me indeed, that the libnss3-tools package needs to be installed to use this command:
$ certutil -L -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb
Command 'certutil' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install libnss3-tools
Is this package found in another repo? Ubuntu18 uses the beaver repos so I tried adding xenial to /etc/apt/sources.list and that doesn't make the package available either. Strangely, this isn't an issue on debian 9.
