Open-iscsi not installable

Help and Support Raspberry Pi

I have Open-iscsi installed on Raspbmc. Now I want to switch to OSMC, but I am not able to.

I use the following and get the output below.

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-get install open-iscsi
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
Package open-iscsi 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 ‘open-iscsi’ has no installation candidate

How can I install open-iscsi, so I can connect my Optical Smarthub DVD player.

Thanks in advance.

Try to ‘sudo apt-get update’ first.

did you apt-get update first??

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo apt-cache search open-iscsi
open-iscsi - High performance, transport independent iSCSI implementation

It is listed here in Jessie

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/open-iscsi

So it should be installable

I did not do ‘sudo apt-get update’.
So I did.
Worked like a charm. Thanks.
