Hello Sir, When running this command "sudo apt install man-db manpages-posix, everything goes well, but then I get an error saying "Unable to locate package manpages-posix"

try running '''sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade''' and then running '''sudo apt install man-db manpages-posix''' :)

Thanks. I'd presumed that they'd already done that, if (hopefully) following the instructions here [CITS2002]⬈ But maybe.... The package manpages-posix is correctly named and still exists, https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=manpages-posix and does contain the manual entries for a number of utilities that we'll use in this unit: https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/all/manpages-posix/filelist
