on a system freshly installed (eventually) with a months old version of Kubuntu 22.04 LTS, 'apt upgrade' after 'sudo su -' does NOT work for me :

~# cd /var/www
-bash: cd: /var/www: No such file or directory
~# apt install apache2 git

  • Try sudo apt update first? That should pull down / refresh the list of available software and their versions.

  • Also, what software sources are (not) enabled?

the missing link is to do

rm -rf /var/cache/apt/*
apt --fix-broken install
apt update
apt upgrade

before installing the basic server OS apps and your own app via git

apt install certbot apache2 git

or in the case of a webserver that's publicly visible :

apt install certbot nginx apache2 git

followed by:

cd /var/www
mkdir MYDOMAIN.TLD && chown MY_LINUX_USERNAME:www-data MYDOMAIN.TLD && chmod 664 MYDOMAIN.TLD
git clone https://github.com/MY_COMPANY_NAME/MY_REPOSITORY_NAME MYDOMAIN.TLD

(i list mine at https://github.com/NicerEnterprises/NicerApp-WebOS)

finally, here's the full installation log, proving my points. A WARNING FROM DPKG IN COLOR WOULD BE VERY COOL AT THIS POINT OF THE LINUX DEV TIMELINE, OK? :)
