    I am in the middle of installing Asterisk on Ubuntu however I need the following packages:

    libncurses5-dev
    libssl-dev
    zlib1g-dev

    I have used the command apt-get install (package) but it can not find the above packages.

    I have searched on the ubuntu site and the packages are there???

    Is there something I am going worng?

    You probably need to enable the universe and multiverse repositories. You need to edit your sources.list file. Search on the ubuntu wiki for more.

    You can also enable those repositories using Synaptic Pacage Manager.

    Just in case you dont know how to enable the universe and multiverse repositories:

    Open a terminal
    type: su root
    type: cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
    type: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

    you'll see # infront of the universe and multiverse repositoriery lines just remove it and save the file. Quit gedit.

    type: apt-get update
    type: apt-get upgrade
