Install resolvconf program on Debian

[lakshitha]

I tried to install the resolvconf program on a Debian platform using the
' apt-get install resolvconf '.
But it gave me an error.

" Package resolvconf 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 resolvconf has no installation candidate. "

Can some one help me to resolve this.

Your repository info in "/etc/apt/sources.list" probably needs to be updated. You should have at least one line similar to the following:

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

You can substitute a different country code for "us" - this is the format for official repo's. And I am able to locate the "resolvconf" package at the above location.

After that you should run (as root):

apt-get update
