There are a couple of possibilities for what could be going on. First, I don't see any calls to `apt-get update`. After adding a new apt source running `apt-get update` is needed for apt to find any new packages in that repository. The second possibility is that you have an apt-pin in place[1]. If you could paste the output of `apt-cache policy puppet-common`, that would help to see what is going on.
A side note here: if you are trying to install the latest version of puppet and puppetserver, you'll want to be using the PC1 repos and not the main repos. There is documentation for them available here: https://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/puppetlabs_package_repositories.html#apt-based-systems [1] - http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html HTH On Tue, Feb 16, 2016 at 3:44 PM, Mamun Rashid <mamun...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am trying to install puppet server on an ec2 ubuntu instance> > ------------------------------ > > I get: ubuntu@ip-172-31-43-240:~$ sudo apt-get install puppetserver > > > Reading package lists...
