package will not install on trusty

[Carl-Einar Thorner]

Trusty complains about there not being an install candidate, although the package is apparently referenced by another package. Here is the input/output from the console:

apt-get update
[...lots of downloads..]

apt-get install geoip-database-contrib

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package geoip-database-contrib 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 'geoip-database-contrib' has no installation candidate

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

I tried to reproduce the issue here on an Ubuntu 14.04 vm, but I was able to install the package without problems.

One thing I noticed is that this package is part of the multiverse repository. Could you please take a look in Software & Updates (software-properties-gtk) to see whether this repository is enabled?

Also, could you run `apt-cache policy geoip-database-contrib` and add the output here. It would tell us where apt-get attempts to look for the package.
