I am trying to install Ubuntu Touch on my Galaxy Nexus from 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (not sure if that may be a possible reason) and after adding the repository I seem to get stuck installing the actual packages:

$ sudo apt-get install phablet-tools android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package phablet-tools

I poked around a little on google and on here trying to find a solution, it seemed like the idea of an apt-get upgrade worked for somebody else but it has failed for me (forum post can be found here.

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

  • 10.04 has reached end of life, you need to upgrade.

  • @psusi: 10.04 may be end of life on the desktop, but that isn't the reason why it isn't working here: there are non-EoL distros for which the phablet-tools package is not available.

  • @JamesHenstridge, if it still applies to a non EOL release and the question is edited to reference that instead, it can be reopened.

Those packages come from the phablet-team/tools PPA. As described in the install instructions, that PPA contains "tools and dependencies to support Precise, Quantal, and Raring".

So you will need to upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu to use the packages found in that PPA.
