I've just taken delivery of a Dell XPS 13 notebook with Ubuntu 14.04 installed. I set out to install SSH and found and installed openssh-client from the repositories with no problem. But when I try to install openssh-server, I'm notified that it can't be found in the repositories.

I've checked main, universe, and multiverse in the software center to no ail. Tried to get help from Dell tech support, got bounced around to Canonical support, only to be told that I needed to a member of some support program I've never heard of and am not particularly interested in.

Can any kinds soul please point the way to a successful openssh-server install?

Something is wrong with your package management. Please try apt-get -f install

If this does nothing try

dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/packages/openssh-server*.deb

Post error messages and content of your /etc/apt/sources.list and sources.list.d/*.list files.

Do apt-get update; apt-get install ssh
