Package ‘python-certbot-apache’ has no installation candidate

According to our experts, this error occurs when we try to install a package with a package manager, and the package is missing in the package repositories that our system is configured to use.

Here are a few reasons why we may run this error:

• The package may not be available in the repositories enabled on our system. Then, this may be because the repository containing the package is not enabled, or that the package has been renamed.
• Furthermore, the package manager’s list of available packages may be outdated. Then, we can update the package list as seen here:

  sudo apt update
• If the package name is wrong or has a typo, we are likely to run into an error. Package names can change between different Linux distributions and versions.
• Sometimes, a package may not be available for our OS version.

How to resolve the error

• To begin with, we have to update our package list with sudo apt update to make sure we have the latest information about available packages.
• Then, we must make sure that the repository containing the package is enabled. If not, we may need to add the appropriate repository or configure our package manager to use the correct repository.
• In case the package is not available for our OS version, we have to consider alternative installation methods or use a different package.
