While  I am trying to install Mailsping I faced a problem with a dependency called `libsecret-1-dev`. I tried to install it using `sudo apt install libsecret-1-dev` however, I did not work output the following:
Package libsecret-1-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 'libsecret-1-dev' has no installation candidate



Also, realized that the number of apps in the app store decreased a lot to only a few apps. I guess this dependency is causing the app store problem as well.

Any suggestion? And thanks in advance!

It did not work as well. I got the following output

  1. (Reading database ... 214114 files and directories currently installed.)
  2. Preparing to unpack libsecret-1-dev_0.20.2-1_amd64.deb ...

I remember that I uninstalled a package called `IBus`, thaught I installed it mistakenly. Is there any relationship?
