I just installed Ubuntu 12.10, and can't install build-essential or git.

I had internet on and checked both options, to install 3rd party and to download updates while installing.

sudo apt-get update says:

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

carmen@SERENITY:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential git subversion
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package build-essential
E: Unable to locate package git
E: Unable to locate package subversion

How am I supposed to use Ubuntu now?

Ubuntu 12.10 is no longer supported, which means that the repositories are no longer maintained.

There's two options:

  • Upgrade to, or install, a newer version of Ubuntu (eg. 16.04). Steam runs perfectly fine on 16.04.

  • Use the Archive repository for 12.10. Note that this is no longer supported, meaning that you will no longer get security and other updates.
