I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04.1, and am trying to install python3-venv. I have tried all of the following:

sudo apt install python3-venv
sudo apt install python3.4-venv
sudo apt-get install python3-venv
sudo apt-get install python3.4-venv
sudo apt-get install -y python3-venv
sudo apt-get install -y python3.4-venv

All of the above with 3.4 result in Unable to locate package python3.4-venv.

All of the above with 3 result in:

Package python3-venv 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 'python3-venv' has no installation candidate

I had the same problem with python3-pip, but managed to install it by curling the source. I think this fact is a key detail to the problem, but I don't know what problem that detail points to.

Thanks in advance :)

  • @N0rbert thank you so much, that was the problem. Now to figure out the unmet dependencies...

  • Dependency problems will be fixed after sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install -f.

  • @N0rbert unfortunately, that didn't fix it. I still get python3-venv depends on python3 (=3.6.5-3) but 3.6.5-3ubuntu1 is to be installed. I'm guessing that means I need to rename 3.6.5-3ubuntu1 properly? If so, how do I do that?

  • Check all your repositories. Run update and dist-upgrade (to get new dependencies). See askubuntu.com/a/142808/66509 . If it does not help - ask new question.
