I am trying to install packages using apt-get:

root@ubuntu:/# sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexpat1-dev gettext unzip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libcurl4-gnutls-dev 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: Unable to locate package build-essential E: Unable to locate package libssl-dev E: Package 'libcurl4-gnutls-dev' has no installation candidate E: Unable to locate package libexpat1-dev E: Unable to locate package gettext E: Unable to locate package unzip

My main goal is to install package make , which I need to manually install a lower version of PHP

This is what happened:

root@ubuntu:~/php-5.4.31# make
The program 'make' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install make

And then I go on and do apt-get install make

root@ubuntu:/# apt-get install make
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package make 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 'make' has no installation candidate

I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS on a virtual machine (Hyper-V) if that helps

I had the sme problem only before a few days. Try to run

# apt-get update

Your apt-repository is outdated. This might be the problem.
