This error comes if I try to run apt-get install, apt-get autoremove, apt-get upgrade etc. commands.
I've added path for missing packages in my /etc/apt/sources.list file, but that didn't work.
Here's an example command that produces the error:
$ sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin php-mbstring php-gettext
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
php-gettext is already the newest version (1.0.11-2build1).
phpmyadmin is already the newest version (4:4.5.4.1-2ubuntu2).
php-mbstring is already the newest version (1:7.0+35ubuntu6.1).
