I have tried to install sshfs in ubuntu, but I keep getting this error stating: Package 'sshfs' has no installation candidate (also shown below).

I saw in a similar post that the sshfs package has been moved to the universe repository, but even with installing that I still got the same error message. Am I doing something wrong?

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package sshfs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'sshfs' has no installation candidate

    Please edit your post and provide the contents of your `/etc/apt/sources.list` file - and also your Ubuntu version. – Artur Meinild Aug 18 '21 at 20:35
  • I have a separate sshfs package installed from universe repo on [Focal](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/sshfs): `apt policy sshfs` -> `Installed: 3.6.0+repack+really2.10-0ubuntu1` - ssh is not a metapackage. – Artur Meinild Aug 18 '21 at 20:37
