How To Fix comigrate: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu comigrate is provided by coinst package.

coinst is:

This package is useful when you are interested in analyzing co-installability of packages in a large package repository. A set of packages is called co-installable if it can be extended to a set that satisfies all inter-package relations (dependencies, conflicts, etc.).

This tool reduces a repository to a much smaller one, its so-called co-installability kernel, that behaves exactly the same as far as co-installability of package is concerned. This is achieved by

  • dropping all relations that are not relevant for this purpose
  • identifying all packages that behave the same. The kernel is typically orders of magnitude smaller than the original repository.

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

sudo apt-get -y install coinst

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

You can also use apt command to install coinst.

sudo apt -y install coinst

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

sudo aptitude install coinst
