ubuntu 14.04 .1 package installation error - ubuntu-14.04

I am trying to run the following command:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:cloud-installer/testing
but it is giving me the following error:
Cannot add PPA : 'ppa:cloud-installer/testing' Please check that the PPA name or format is correct.
any solutions?

See these answers, at AskUbuntu.
You will see:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ca-certificates
And, if it does not work:
sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:cloud-installer/testing
Or, as stated here, also in AskUbuntu:
sudo -E add-apt-repository ppa:cloud-installer/stable
or
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openstack-ubuntu-testing/kilo

The option --install-recommends is not recognized by APT

I'm trying to install wine on Ubuntu 16.04
but it gives me this error:
\E: Command line option --install-recommends is not understood in combination with the other options
could anyone tell me what to do to make this work?
the code is:
sudo apt-get --install-recommends winehq-devel
I think, you forgot the 'install' parameter.
What you wrote:
sudo apt-get --install-recommends winehq-devel
What you should've written (per apts syntax):
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends winehq-devel
Though I think apt still defaults to your wanted behavior.
So omitting the --install-recommends would've been fine:
sudo apt-get install winehq-devel

Ubuntu 16.04 error with apt-get

Yesterday I updated Ubuntu from 14.04 to 16.04, when I tried to install git, I got this error:
The package linux-headers-4.4.0-65 needs to be reinstalled, but I
can't find an archive for it.
Then I tried to install another software, to the same error.
First you need to
sudo apt-get update
Then
sudo apt-get install git
I had a similar problem on Kali-Linux once. The thing that worked for me was:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

error while install pcap using "npm install pcap"

I am developing a packet capture application in nodejs.
When I issue the command npm install pcap, I have this error:
Can someone help me to solve? Thanks
Thanks, this (enter link description here) helped me a lot.
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"
sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo aptitude install nodejs
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev git
npm install https://github.com/mranney/node_pcap.git.
Now It is working find.

Dependency issue: sun-java6-jdk (bindiff)

I am trying to install bindiff. When I try to install through archive manager I am welcomed by the following message "Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java6-jre". (I am running ubuntu 12.10)
I have tried adding a repository
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/java
This did not work.
I also currently have java 7 installed, and have done sudo apt-get update
I tried "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk" and I receive the following:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Package sun-java6-jdk 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 'sun-java6-jdk' has no installation candidate
SOLVED:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove java-common
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
sudo apt-get purge java common
Use the following terminal commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove java-common
sudo apt-get install oracle-java6-installer
sudo apt-get purge java common

Using 'sudo apt-get install build-essentials'

I was trying to use sudo apt-get install build-essentials to install the g++ compiler on my Ubuntu Linux box. But it gave me the following message:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package build-essentials
How do I fix this problem?
Drop the 's' off of the package name.
You want sudo apt-get install build-essential
You may also need to run sudo apt-get update to make sure that your package index is up to date.
For anyone wondering why this package may be needed as part of another install, it contains the essential tools for building most other packages from source (C/C++ compiler, libc, and make).
In my case, simply "dropping the s" was not the problem (although it is of course a step in the right direction to use the correct package name).
I had to first update the package manager indexes like this:
sudo apt-get update
Then after that the installation worked fine:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Try
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
(If I recall correctly the package name is without the extra s at the end).
I know this has been answered, but I had the same question and this is what I needed to do to resolve it. During installation, I had not added a network mirror, so I had to add information about where a repo was on the internet. To do this, I ran:
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
and added the following lines:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main
If you need to do this, you may need to replace "wheezy" with the version of debian you're running. Afterwards, run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Hopefully this will help someone who had the same problem that I did.
The package is called build-essential without the plural "s". So
sudo apt-get install build-essential
should do what you want.
Try 'build-essential' instead.
To auto-generate the "source.list" file I suggest to use:
https://debgen.simplylinux.ch/
Where you can select the country, the distribution, ..etc
After that, all you need to do is to replace (take a backup of the file first) your original source.list file with the generated one and do as mentioned in other answers:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
