How To Fix apt-cudf-get: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu apt-cudf-get is provided by apt-cudf package.

apt-cudf is:

apt-cudf provides integration among the APT package manager and CUDF solvers, allowing APT to rely on external (CUDF-based) dependency solvers to plan package installation, upgrade, and removal.

CUDF is a distribution-independent, standard format to describe dependency solving scenarios, as faced by package managers in popular package-based GNU/Linux distributions. APT is a well-known package manager for Debian-based distributions, which is able to delegate dependency solving to external solvers, by the means of the External Dependency Solving Protocol (EDSP).

apt-cudf provides the glue between the EDSP protocol and CUDF solvers, enabling any installed CUDF solver to be used as an external solver for APT.

Several CUDF solvers are available in Debian. They all provide the cudf-solver virtual package.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install apt-cudf

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install apt-cudf.

sudo apt -y install apt-cudf

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install apt-cudf
