How To Fix madison-lite: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu madison-lite is provided by madison-lite package.

madison-lite is:

This program inspects a local Debian package archive and displays the versions of the given packages found in each suite (for example, stable, testing, or unstable) in a brief but easily human-readable form. It aims to be a drop-in replacement for the madison utility from the da-katie archive management suite that runs on the central Debian archive systems, but one which can run without access to the archive’s SQL database.

For simple queries, you can use http://packages.debian.org/ instead, which does not require you to have access to a system with a local mirror.

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

sudo apt-get -y install madison-lite

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

You can also use apt command to install madison-lite.

sudo apt -y install madison-lite
