2015-04-18 23:01:51 Doug Smythies summary Possible error in documentation Mail Filtering section refers to a non-existent package
2015-04-18 23:02:05 Doug Smythies serverguide: status New Confirmed
2015-04-18 23:02:58 Doug Smythies description I followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/mail-filtering.html to configure mail filtering on a newly installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 server. When I tried "sudo apt-get install arj cabextract cpio lha nomarch pax rar unrar unzip zip", it failed to install lha. The multiverse repositories are already enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list, so that's not the issue. The error message is: bbell@saturn:/etc/postfix$ sudo apt-get install lha 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 Please fix the instructions for getting lha installed, or remove it from the list of filters.

The package exists in lucid and precise, but not trusty.
