Unable to locate package postgresql-server-dev-9.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 x64

Question

I am trying to install postgresql-server-dev-9.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 x64. I first did sudo apt-get install postgresql and it worked. I then tried sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-9.1 and i get the error message

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package postgresql-server-dev-9.1
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'postgresql-server-dev-9.1'

I am really a total newbie so handholding and spoonfeeding will be apreciated.

Solution 1

On Ubuntu 14.04, Postgresql is on Version 9.3. Just try to install sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev or sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-9.3.

Solution 2

This is because Trusty Tahr (i.e. 14.04) has:

postgresql-server-dev-9.3

instead of

postgresql-server-dev-9.1
