I wanted to install dhcp server. When I typed ifconfig it says,command not found but can be installed with sudo apt install net-tools. Then I did so. Results were

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree...Done
Reading state information...Done
E: Unable to locate package net-tools

I updated cache. Then checked the repository in my ubuntu version whether it has or not that particular package. I got something like this.

jammy (22.04LTS) (net): NET-3 networking toolkit
1.60+git20181103.0eebece-1ubuntu5: amd64 arm64 armhf i386 ppc64el s390x

I can't figure it out whether it is in universe or multiverse repository. And how to solve this after this.

For me apt policy net-tools gives:

net-tools:
  Installed: 1.60+git20181103.0eebece-1ubuntu5
  Candidate: 1.60+git20181103.0eebece-1ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 1.60+git20181103.0eebece-1ubuntu5 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu jammy/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

So it's in the main repository. Did you run sudo apt update after changing repositories?
