Demonstrating this problem on 20.04:

sudo apt install el-get

Run emacs, hit Meta+x and type el-get-install

Get "No Match".

Attempt to solve it:

Run dpkg -l on el-get and observe that there is a start script in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50el-get.el, which suggests that there is a global configuration that allows emacs to run el-get start scripts.

So why is the script not loaded ("No Match")?

Update:

I switched to melph and installed the desired package that way.

  • Was the script there when `emacs` started? – waltinator May 24 '21 at 05:16

    Does this answer your question? [How do I enable the "Universe" repository?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository) (see https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/el-get ) – N0rbert May 24 '21 at 06:45
  • There was no .emacsrc and this error can be observed from freshly created new user account which shouldn't have any custom scripts – Tankman六四 May 25 '21 at 07:16
