Couldn't find package libapache2-mod-wsgi

Question

I have developed a website in Django, and now it must go into production. This i want to do with mod_wsgi and apache2. Unfortunately i get the error 'Couldn't find package libapache2-mod-wsgi' when running the next command:

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi

I am using apache2 on ubuntu server kermic(9.10).

I will enter my sources.list also:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic main
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic-security main

Does somebody know what the problem is?

Answer 1

On my Ubuntu box:

apt-cache search libapache2-mod-wsgi

says

libapache2-mod-wsgi - Python WSGI adapter module for Apache

So the package is obviously there. It's in the universe repository (as per package details). Try to update your package list with

sudo apt-get update

Then run again

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi

Answer 2

Be sure to enable (uncomment) the Universe repositories. The Universe repos aren't usually enabled by default, and that's where libapache2-mod-wsgi lives.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libapache2-mod-wsgi

Once you've uncommented the Universe lines, run another apt-get update, then you should be able to install the package.
