Hola,
I ran into the below issue while trying to install mkpasswd
in Ubuntu.
sudo apt install mkpasswd
Reading package lists… Done Building dependency tree Reading state information… Done E: Unable to locate package mkpasswd
Turns out that mkpasswd is a utility part of the whois package. I needed a good medium roast Catuai coffee for this one first! So, in order to get mkpasswd you have to:
sudo apt install whois
To confirm mkpasswd is installed you can run:
which mkpasswd
You should get the following:
/usr/bin/mkpasswd
If you like to learn more about Ubuntu I recommend getting this book Ubuntu Unleashed (search for it!) and also if you like to code with coffee visit my shop to grab inspirational coffee mugs and T-Shirts. Thanks!
