Can't install pangox-compat with apt-get

Question

I can't install pangox-compat package (needed by my printer driver, Canon MF4120) using apt-get. Package exists and the corrisponding repo is enabled:

$ apt-cache madison pangox-compat
pangox-compat | 0.0.2-4ubuntu1 | http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main Sources

$ sudo apt-get update
[...]

$ sudo apt-get install pangox-compat

E: Unable to locate package pangox-compat

I could download the package and install it using dpkg, but I would not mix the using of dpkg and apt-get

I have Lubuntu 14.04.1

Solution 1

install it via sudo apt-get install libpangox-1.0-dev

Solution 2

1. Download the source package of pangox-compat for 14.04 (Source Package: pangox-compat (0.0.2-4ubuntu1) ).

   wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pangox-compat/pangox-compat_0.0.2.orig.tar.xz  
   

2. Extract the archive that you downloaded.

   tar -xJvf pangox-compat_0.0.2.orig.tar.xz   
   

3. Install pangox-compat into a system directory.

   sudo apt-get install build-essential make    
   cd pangox-compat-0.0.2  
   ./configure  
   make  
   sudo make install # installs pangox-compat into a system directory  
   

Solution 3

pangox-compat is a source package. The binary packages built from it (the ones you can install using apt-get install) are libpangox-1.0-0 and libpangox-1.0-dev. If you need to build something from source, install libpangox-1.0-dev. If not, libpangox-1.0-0 is sufficient.
