No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux 8.7 (jessie)

Can anyone help me?
well it's unable to locate the package cause there is no neovim in Debian stable as far I know. There is one in the testing repository.
Neovim is available in Testing (Stretch) so it should be available to Stable (Jessie) by using Backports.
General idea here: https://backports.debian.org/
Method here: https://backports.debian.org/Instructions/
For jessie add this line
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
to your sources.list (or add a new file with the ".list" extension to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/) You can also find a list of other mirrors at https://www.debian.org/mirror/list
Run apt-get update
Then
apt-get -t jessie-backports install neovim

I have a new install of Debian Buster, I downloaded the ProtonVPN CLI package and went to install and got the errors:
E: Unable to locate package protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.0-1_all.deb
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.0-1_all.deb'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.0-1_all.deb'
my /etc/apt/sources.list file looks like this:
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.10.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64 NETINST 20210619-16:11]/ buster main
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 10.10.0 _Buster_ - Official amd64 NETINST 20210619-16:11]/ buster main

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster-updates main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main
I was able to apt-get install wget as well as update and upgrdade. I even tried uncommenting the cdrom lines at the top. I reran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.
Still, when I try to install the ProtonVPN package I get the above errors.
Note I understand that this is not strictly programming related. If there is a more appropriate stack, please let me know in comments and I will close and post there.
To install manually downloaded Debian package, use dpkg:
dpkg -i protonvpn-stable-release_1.0.0-1_all.deb
If dpkg is complaining about missing dependencies, then use apt-get -f install after running dpkg
I do everything according to the instructions: PHP | "The requested PHP extension bcmath is missing from your system."
apt-get update
apt-get install php7.2-bcmath
I get:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state
information... Done E: Unable to locate package php7.2-bcmath E:
Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.2-bcmath'
Why the system cannot find this module?
Use deb.sury.org
Just add https://packages.sury.org/php/ to Your apt/sources.list, and voila. There is php7.2-bcmath and a lot of other php stuff
It doesn't work for me.
I added the code to the file (8th line)
deb http://mirror.hetzner.de/debian/packages jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
# deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
# deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib
deb https://packages.sury.org/php/
and it shows the error:
E: Malformed line 8 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist) E: The
list of sources could not be read.
So I added at the end last line: "jessie main"
deb http://mirror.hetzner.de/debian/packages jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian jessie main contrib non-free
deb http://http.debian.net/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
# deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main
# deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib
deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ jessie main
Now I have the same as before:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state
information... Done E: Unable to locate package php7.2-bcmath E:
Couldn't find any package by regex 'php7.2-bcmath'
Why am I still unable to install this package?
I have bought a chromebook and it has come with the os Debian Linux system of which I have no idea how to use or work. I am trying to install Steam on my computer and am following this tutorial: https://wiki.debian.org/Steam#A64-bit_systems_.28amd64.29
I have fallen upon the first step as I am trying to create a new list or even append this non-free component to the current sources.list. However I am confused as to how to append it as running the command deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ buster main contrib non-free I am told deb is not a command. This would be fine if I then knew how to create a list and add it.
Would someone be able to help me as to how to add this non-free component to the source.list file. My understanding is very basic.
Thanks
Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list :
sudo apt edit-sources
or:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
as follows:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian-security/ buster/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-updates main contrib non-free
Ctrl + O , Enter , Ctrl + X to save
Then run:
sudo apt update
I cannot install the kernel header package for debian. Its not found with apt-get install, even 'apt-cache search linux-headers' yields no results for my version.

deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
Any help would be appreciated
I'm new to Linux/Debian (squeeze). I'm trying to do an apt-get to install git and receive this error message.
Reading package lists... Done

as i said i'm very new to this so i don't know what needs to be in the sources.list file. I can't actually install anything right now. i tried installing php as well and got the same error. please help :(
The git-core package is obsolete, try installing git.
EDIT
Furthermore you only have squeeze updates repositories in your sources.list, add at least one regular squeeze repository to get access to all packages, not just updated ones:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
Afterwards run apt-get update to update your local package index.
