Solution 1
As a commenter noted, the universe
package was not enabled. Enabling with add-apt-repository did the trick:
sudo add-apt-repository universe
Solution 2
I had the same issue on "Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on Windows 10" and accepted answer doesn't work for me but this answer worked. It might help someone else.
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"

I installed a fresh install of 18.04 server. The package
redis-server
does not seem to be installable. I'm not sure why:$ sudo apt install redis-server Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package redis-server
the package doesnt appear to exist:
$ sudo apt-cache search redis miscfiles - Dictionaries and other interesting files python-redis - Persistent key-value database with network interface (Python library) resource-agents - Cluster Resource Agents
I have run
apt update
. I'm guessing its missing a repository of packages, but since this is a fresh install, I'm not sure why it would be missing one, or how to fix it.root@:/etc/newrelic# sudo apt-get install nri-redis Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package nri-redis
