Failed to install git-email Depends: git (< 1:2.17.0-.)

Hi,

I am running ubuntu 18.04, my git is in newest version (1:2.17.1-1ubuntu0.5). But why cannot install git-email?

$ sudo apt install git-email

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
git-email : Depends: git (< 1:2.17.0-.)

$ sudo apt install git

git is already the newest version (1:2.17.1-1ubuntu0.5).

It looks like it's trying to install an older version of git-email. Try


sudo apt update

then re-try the install.
