I'm trying to get vpnc installed on Ubuntu Server 18.04 using:

sudo apt-get install vpnc

But that results in:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package vpnc

I've tried sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade, rebooting, etc. But the vpnc package doesn't seem to exist. Don't remember this being an issue with Ubuntu Server 16.04.

How do I get vpnc installed on Ubuntu Server 18.04?

Edit: (While "sudo add-apt-repository universe" is the solution, this is not a duplicate of the question: How do I enable the "Universe" repository from the command line?)

    I wouldn't say that it's a duplicate of How do I enable the "Universe" repository, but, "sudo add-apt-repository universe" is the solution. – JohnK Oct 15 '18 at 16:34

To answer my own question, you need the Universe repository for vpnc:

sudo add-apt-repository universe

then:

sudo apt-get install vpnc
