Restricted-extras isn’t showing up in synaptic.
Was restricted-extras removed from the repos?
Are you sure you’re using the correct package name

but that wasn’t the only near-package match I saw either, eg.
lubuntu-restricted-extras/resolute,resolute 68 all
Commonly used media codecs and fonts for Lubuntu (Transitional)
(resolute listed for that one, as that’s the release I’m running)
As “ubuntu-restricted-extras”
-hope this helps-

It must be a result of something I did recently.
I switched my Lubuntu install from an “in-place install” to a “usb minimal install”.
I’m not sure why it’s not showing up in synaptic.
How do I get it installed?
Me - I am terminally mind3d:
Run:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install ubuntu-restricted-extras
-one way to do it-

And simulated terminal says…
I think there is an error.
Firstly, you do not need sudo when running a simulation and the parameter is in the wrong place.
Try this,
apt install -s ubuntu-restricted-extras
ubuntu-restricted-extras is in the multiverse section of the repo.
Is the mutliverse section enabled in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources ?
-hummmm—
And my file says…
WyattWhiteEagle -
Looks good should workie –
try as rubi1200 advises ^^ (sorry that I glommed over that !)
-we can punt-
And Terminal says…
“Unable to locate.”
Yukkie -poo
the command does run:
sysop@Xm2404:~$ apt install -s ubuntu-restricted-extras
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

I got it working.
I ran update ; upgrade then ran the restricted-extras install command.
Didnt restart to seed the update ; upgrade.
It seems the restricted-extras weren’t detectable in the repos until I rebooted the system again.

I have to question that source. Makes no sense to me that all the release repos are autided. I would expect only one mirror here for access.
Were me - in the GUI “Software & Update” > “download from” > Other > “Select Best Server”.
-can not hurt to try-
“Select best server” isn’t in my Software Center here on Lubuntu 24.04.
Looking at the Lubuntu manual docs about it…I may find it in Lubuntu.
I’ll let yall know.
UPDATE
I found it…hopin’ it don’t take long.
Um…it says that Hong Kong has the best mirror for me.
How could that be?
I’m in Georgia, USA.
