I’m trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 but when I get to the part, I get the following error “Install dependencies for our gems.”: E: Unable to locate package libmysql-ruby. Can anyone help?

i am getting the same error on an EC2 server 14.02 headless trying to find a good workaround for it

Hey guys,

I experienced the same problem with Ubuntu 12.04. That’s how I solved it:

1. open the file /etc/apt/sources.list in an editor
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

2. add the “universe” repository to the file
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main universe

3. update system
sudo apt-get update

4. install again
sudo apt-get install libmysql-ruby

I hope that can solve your problem.

greez,
Flo
