• • 想卸载一个包，发现怎么都卸载不掉，报E: Unable to locate package（后来发现我压根没装这包，我是装的vsftpd！！！）

如题：

[root@ubuntu /home/arnold]7# apt-get install update
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package update

解决办法：


点close，不要点revert（恢复）！


我也不知道解决没有，，之前最初的指令好像写错了，应该是：sudo apt-get update，，中间不需要install，，

现在我是用apt-get install update和apt-get install upgrade倒是正常，，，更新了很多包

但是我后面执行的时候还是发现不行哎！！！

但是我安装包的时候倒是没有报那个错误！！！

参考文章1：如何从根本上解决E: Unable to locate package错误的方法

参考文章2：Ubuntu install 错误 E:Unable to locate package

还是解决不了，，，，在网上都找不到关于E: Unable to locate package update（E: Unable to locate package upgrade）的报错解决方法，全是E: Unable to locate package的！！！！

看来这个问题必须解决才行

我参考 ubuntu18.04 E: Unable to locate package *错误 方法试试

• 1、删除/var/lib/apt/periodic文件夹下所有文件（删除前先备份）

[root@ubuntu /home/arnold]16# cd /var/lib/apt/periodic/
[root@ubuntu /var/lib/apt/periodic]17# ls
download-upgradeable-stamp  update-stamp          upgrade-stamp
unattended-upgrades-stamp   update-success-stamp
[root@ubuntu /var/lib/apt/periodic]18# cd ..
[root@ubuntu /var/lib/apt]19# tar cvzf periodic.tar periodic/
periodic/
periodic/upgrade-stamp
periodic/download-upgradeable-stamp
periodic/unattended-upgrades-stamp
periodic/update-stamp
periodic/update-success-stamp
[root@ubuntu /var/lib/apt]20# ls
cdroms.list  extended_states  lists    periodic
daily_lock   keyrings         mirrors  periodic.tar
[root@ubuntu /var/lib/apt]21# cd periodic
[root@ubuntu /var/lib/apt/periodic]22# rm * -rf
[root@ubuntu /var/lib/apt/periodic]23# ls
[root@ubuntu /var/lib/apt/periodic]24# 

• 2、更换sources.list下载地址
  跳过

暂停暂停！！问题暂时消除
