freeradius package

freeradius-mysql not available

Asked by Marikawn

I'm trying to setup my brand new instance of Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Server with mysql and freeradius. One of the required packages is "freeradius-mysql". When I run the following command I get an error:

apt-get install freeradius-mysql

Package freeradius-mysql 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

Am I missing something? This used to work on previous versions of Ubuntu Server.

Thanks

freeradius-mysql is in the "universe" repository, which you seem not to have enabled.
