Unable to locate package python-openssl

Question

I'm trying to install Pyenv, and I'm running on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. but whenever I run this command

sudo apt install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \ libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev \ libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python-openssl \ git

I get this error

Unable to locate package python-openssl

I've tried searching for solutions online, but I think they have encountered it on older versions of Ubuntu and not on the latest version.

Answer 1

Make sure your list of packages is updated (sudo apt update). Python openssl bindings are available in 22.04 in python3-openssl (link), so you can install it by running

sudo apt install python3-openssl

Answer 2

you must be using python3 so change python-openssl to python3-openssl in command

Yep that was it. notice the command "python-openssl" it should be "python3-openssl" – Heathenism

sudo apt install openssl libssl-dev

Thanks, but I've already executed that command but still have the same error. – Familiar

@Familiar Remove python-openssl and replace the with his answer. It works. – Thackeray

Had the same issue, changing from python to python3, as suggested here, worked for me.

Answer 5

Try this:

sudo apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev \
libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev \
libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev python3-openssl

I just added a 3 after the python in python-openssl.
