Good morning Chuck,

I assume you ran

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install bum

What happens when you run [ICODE]dpkg -L bum[/ICODE] What does it output?

Hi jmarket i tried sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get install bum nothing i just tried this again terminal it says,
unable to locate package bum.

When i enter dpkg -L bum in terminal it says,
dpkg-query : package bum is not installed
use dpkg --info ( =dpkg -deb --info ) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents ( =dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
Iam lost on this. How do i fix this? My Linux skills are about average.
Thank,s Chuck

It sounds like bum was removed from the repository, which means it’s no longer available.

What happens when you run
[ICODE]apt-cache search bum[/ICODE]

It shows alot but i looked at it very careful no mention bum at all. In the terminal. Can i download bum? I just dont no.
Thank,s Chuck

That means it’s been removed and can not be installed.

Thats odd i didnt remove it Linux Mint Cinnamon is installed on this laptop. I put Linux Mint 20 Beta on a USB so i can mess with it, i tried install bum on it, terminal shows the same thing, unable to locate package bum.
Beats me, mark this solved. Thank,s for your help. You tried.
Thank,s Chuck

It’s been removed from the Ubuntu repository, which means it is unable to be installed.
