Bug Description

From the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/mail-filtering.html#mail-filter-installation, one of the commands given fails:

[[
# apt-get install arj cabextract cpio lha nomarch pax rar unrar unzip zip
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package lha 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 'lha' has no installation candidate
]]

Per instructions, I've checked the multiverse repository is enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list:

[[

deb http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates multiverse
deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates multiverse
]]

(If this is not what was meant, then the instructions here need improving.)

So far, I've been able to continue the installation by omitting 'lha' from the apt-get install command.
