【问题】
折腾：
【记录】在Ubuntu下用crosstool-ng编译xscale的交叉工具链
期间，安装makeinfo时出问题：

【解决过程】
1.之前就弄过这类事情。知道是更换源。
2.参考：
ubuntu下配置lamp环境遇到 Unable to locate package错误解决办法
所以换源之前，先去update一下：

3.结果发现，剪贴板无法共享了，所以再去解决此问题：
【已解决】VMWare Workstation和Ubuntu之间无法共享（复制和粘贴）剪贴板
4.然后再去试试apt-get能否找到makeinfo，结果还是不行：
crifan@ubuntu:~/develop/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0$ sudo apt-get install makeinfo Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package makeinfo crifan@ubuntu:~/develop/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0$
5.看来只能去换sourcelist了。
6.参考：
Makeinfo package not found in 12.04
去试试，结果发现其实是需要安装texinfo，然后就去安装：

7.然后又去试试那个apt-file，结果由于速度太慢，还是终止了：
crifan@ubuntu:~/develop/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0$ apt-file search makeinfo
The program 'apt-file' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:

crifan@ubuntu:~/develop/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.18.0$ 8.此时，可以看出，此处连接到us的ubuntu服务器，速度还是太慢，所以还是要去换成163的那个镜像：
【记录】给Ubuntu更换成163的源（sources.list）
【总结】
此处
sudo apt-get install makeinfo
出现：
| E: Unable to locate package makeinfo |
的原因是：
makeinfo不是一个单独的软件，而是texinfo中的内容。
所以要去安装texinfo即可：
sudo apt-get install texinfo
注：
如果是由于源不好，而找不到某软件包，则可以考虑换源，可参考：
