I need libxslt but apt-get cannot find it

Tue Mar 08, 2016 10:21 am

I need to install a number of packages for building man pages for gpsd on a Jessie system.
According to the instructions (gpsd 3.16 build.txt) I need the following packages:
libxslt
docbook-xsl
xmlto
asciidoc
So I created a call as follows and received the response I did not want:

Code: Select all

pi@rpi3-jessie:~ $ sudo apt-get install libxslt docbook-xsl xmlto asciidoc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libxslt
Any ideas as to what I need to do in order to get these packages?
I tried googling but nothing obvious popped up.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
Then try again, but always apt-get update first to sync the repositories

The update, dist-update did nothing...

But using the RaTTuS link I found that I could use this:
libxlt1-dev
After I installed that it worked fine.
