Whenever I try to install dconf-tool I get this error:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package dconf-tools 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
However the following packages replace it:
dconf-cli
E: Package 'dconf-tools' has no installation candidate
Why and how can I fix this?
For me, my universe source was disabled. To enable it, open Software Centre and navigate to Dconf Editor (you will have to search).
It will say "Available in the Universe repository", and you can click to enable it.
It takes a minute or so, and then you can install from software centre or from terminal.
