[Bio-Linux] Mothur on Ubuntu 10.10

[Anthony Pemberton]

Guys,

Yes, I was on the Ubuntu site on Friday. Ubuntu 10.10 is no longer supported. That may be the problem. Andor, you may need to bite the bullet and update your version. I am reliably told Ubuntu 11.10 is good at the moment, if you do not want to move to the latest LTS 12.04. I know Tim has warned us about 12.04 breaking some bio-linux packages. Not sure if 11.10 is in the same category since that is the first Unity release. You can install gnome 3 if you do not like Unity. Tim?

Regards,

Tony Pemberton

okay, so maverick has been dropped by the repos, so maybe that's the
problem....



$sudo apt-get install mothur
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package mothur 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 'mothur' has no installation candidate
