&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The default deployment of Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) does not allow installation of NRPE (package nagios-nrpe-server) without modifying the apt sources.  Trying to install results in the following error&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
me@server:~$ sudo apt install nagios-nrpe-server&lt;br /&gt;
Reading package lists... Done&lt;br /&gt;
Building dependency tree&lt;br /&gt;
Reading state information... Done&lt;br /&gt;
E: Unable to locate package nagios-nrpe-server&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to fix you need to add the &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;universe&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; component to the OS repository source&lt;br /&gt;
# Edit the repository sources file&lt;br /&gt;
#* EG &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Append &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;universe&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; to the first line (your file should look like the below)&lt;br /&gt;
# Update the local cache&lt;br /&gt;
#* &amp;lt;code&amp;gt; sudo apt update &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
# Install NRPE as normal&lt;br /&gt;
#* &amp;lt;code&amp;gt; udo apt install nagios-nrpe-server &amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
me@server:~$  cat /etc/apt/sources.list&lt;br /&gt;
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main universe&lt;br /&gt;
