If you scroll down that page you can see that ttf-devanagari-fonts is categorized under “Obsoletes.” nd clicking that link shows the last Ubuntu version to use ttf-devanagari-fonts was Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.Īs for how to do this on your own from the command line I assume you could use this apt-get command: apt-cache search DevanagariĪnd it might show up in the list of returned items. So you would install it like this: apt-get install fonts-deva-extra Looking at this page for Devanagari fonts in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS it looks like ttf-devanagari-fonts it has been replaced by fonts-deva-extra. I am using the following flavor of Linux: # cat /etc/lsb-release However the following packages replace it:įonts-deva-extra fonts-samyak-deva fonts-sahadeva fonts-nakula fonts-lohit-deva fonts-devaĮ: Package 'ttf-devanagari-fonts' has no installation candidate This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or Package ttf-devanagari-fonts is not available, but is referred to by another package.
Is there any other package that will have similar functionality? I am not looking for betterpackage, I am looking for most similar package to this one for compatibility purpose. Is there any database where I can find the 'published' date or 'end' date? The following command used to work earlier.
