StoicLoofah opened a new issue #1856: Unable to install CouchDB from apt in Ubuntu 18.04
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/issues/1856
 
 
   ## Expected Behavior
   
   I followed the instructions at http://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/install/unix.html#installation-using-the-apache-couchdb-convenience-binary-packages and verified that `deb https://apache.bintray.com/couchdb-deb bionic main` is in /etc/apt/sources.list and `bintray@bintray.com` is in my apt-key list.
   
   When I run `sudo apt install couchdb`, I expect it to install properly
   
   ## Current Behavior
   
   Here is what I'm currently seeing.
   
   ```
   me@server:~$ sudo apt update
   Ign:1 https://apache.bintray.com/couchdb-deb bionic InRelease
   Get:2 https://apache.bintray.com/couchdb-deb bionic Release [1,840 B]
   Get:3 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security InRelease [83.2 kB]                             
   Hit:5 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic InRelease                                                         
   Get:6 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates InRelease [88.7 kB]

   Package couchdb is not available, but is referred to by another package.
   This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
   is only available from another source
   
   E: Package 'couchdb' has no installation candidate
   ```
   
   ## Possible Solution
   
   I looked at #1314 so it appears that this should have been resolved awhile ago, so I'm not sure why I'm running into issues here. 
   
   Neither `sudo apt clean` or `sudo apt autoclean` helped.
   
   I wouldn't be surprised if I made other mistakes in the process, but I'm not sure what else I can try to fix things.
   
   ## Your Environment
   
   I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 on a VPS that I recently updated from Ubuntu 14.04. I did not have couchdb installed previously.
