Installation problems

[lw3eov]

Hello, I am a user with no much experience on Linux so please provide an answer for dummies. When following this guide:

https://wiki.qt.io/Install_Qt_5_on_Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package mesa-common-dev 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 'mesa-common-dev' has no installation candidate

$ sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev -y

The guide says:

Execute the following command to install OpenGL libraries:

sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev

Note: Just installing the above-mentioned mesa-common-dev kit is not sufficient for more recent Ubuntu versions. Based on a comment in the Qt forum[1] an additional package needs installation. Execute following command:

sudo apt-get install libglu1-mesa-dev -y
