I am new to Ubuntu and I am trying to add "Refresh" button on right click by using command

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nae-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-refresh

But I am getting following error :

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 nautilus-refresh : Depends: python-nautilus but it is not installable
                    Depends: xautomation but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Can someone please help me here since I tried to google it but I am not getting exact solution of it.

I also used "How to get a "refresh" right click action?" link to get the things done but it is giving error

  • Did you try to contact the author of this third party PPA?

  • possible duplicate of How to get a "refresh" right click action?. Aside from being a dupe this feature is completely unnecessary as Nautilus will "refresh" itself Aug 2, 2015 at 7:03
  • @ElefantPlace I tried doing it but it is giving error "E: Package 'python-nautilus' has no installation candidate E: Package 'xautomation' has no installation candidate" Aug 2, 2015 at 7:21
  • Edit your question and add the output of the command cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Both packages are in the Ubuntu universe repository. Enable this repository in Software & Updates as per screen-shot below.

enter image description here

After that

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus-refresh

    Is the universe repository enabled?

  • I checked in software and updates & found everything similar to image shared by you. Does this means that universe repository is enabled. I am sorry to ask this but I am really new to Ubuntu. Aug 2, 2015 at 16:25
  • Hi, Finally I was able to slove the issue by using following steps : 1. As mentioned by A.B., when I was closing the "Software & Updates", I was getting error of failed to download repository information and to check Internet connectivity, I used askubuntu.com/questions/297222/… solution posted by Matthew and it worked. 2. I followed askubuntu.com/questions/156201/… answered by Nickolas to solve my problem. A BIG THANKS TO A.B., Matthew, Nickolas Aug 2, 2015 at 18:10
  • I already did that @A.B. Since I was not able to update software, I was not able to install other softwares too like R and VLC and was getting list of dependencies while installing them. But now, I everything is working great. Aug 2, 2015 at 18:20
