I am trying to install the perlapi-5.14.2 package on a Debian 9 linux server and am getting the following feedback:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package perlapi-5.14.2 is a virtual package provided by:
perl-base 5.14.2-21+deb7u5 [Not candidate version]
perl-base 5.14.2-21+deb7u3 [Not candidate version]

From my research, it seems that we do not have this package in the Debian 9 archive. Is it possible for me to install this package from the terminal, looking in another archive? Type using wget + link?

First try the update (To update sources):

sudo apt-get update

And try to install again, if it doesn’t work try:

sudo apt-get -f install

So it will adjust the dependencies and try to install again, but if it still doesn’t work try using aptitude:

sudo aptitude install perlapi-5.14.2

  • I executed the first two commands and tried to reinstall, it was not. Same return. I executed the third command and got the following return: sudo: aptitude: command not found

  • try 'sudo apt-get install aptitude'
