I used trickle on Ubuntu 20.04 (Desktop). Now I wanted to install it on Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS Server:

$ sudo apt install trickle
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package trickle 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

E: Package 'trickle' has no installation candidate

Every site I found suggests doing exactly this. Even the system itself suggests it:

$ trickle
Command 'trickle' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install trickle

Might I be missing a repository? I'm not aware I removed any.

Edit: This question was closed with a reference to a question to enable the universe repository.

I tried the answers provided there, but the problem remains.

It seems that adding the repository did not work:

$ sudo apt update

For some reason, that is not entirely obvious, the trickle package is not available for Ubuntu 24.04, but it is present for both 22.04 and 24.10.

You should probably try and reach out to the Universe team and ask why this is the case.

See here for reference.
