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

In Ubuntu dbck is provided by lyskom-server package.

lyskom-server is:

LysKOM has a lot in common with netnews, but LysKOM is intended for local discussions (instead of worldwide). LysKOM consists of a server process and several client programs. The server process maintains a data base of persons, conferences and articles. The clients connect to the server and let the users browse the database for unread articles.

LysKOM is much faster than netnews - almost as fast as irc or ICQ! - but like in netnews the articles are saved so that you don’t have to be logged in to receive the news.

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

sudo apt-get -y install lyskom-server

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

You can also use apt command to install lyskom-server.

sudo apt -y install lyskom-server

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

sudo aptitude install lyskom-server
