Tried to install dependencies separately and got these errors.

@leecow is this something you can help with?

Fixed, my VPS didn't have universe in source.list

[YoEight]

I'm having this exact issue and I have universe in source.list. For a matter of fact, I did successfully install dotnet-dev-1.0.1 3 weeks ago but fail right now on a new machine.

I'm also running on Ubuntu 16.04 by the way

@YoEight have you set up the correct apt-get feed for Ubuntu 16.04? It must be Xenial. If you are not sure, try this:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://apt-mo.trafficmanager.net/repos/dotnet-release/ xenial main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotnetdev.list'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 417A0893
sudo apt-get update

and try again installing dotnet-dev-1.0.1

Not sure who maintains the install instructions on: https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#linuxubuntu

The same steps denoted by @YoEight needs to be applied to _linux mint_ as well. Unless someone is going to fix the package dependencies for trusty.

@leecow can you review the instructions on the site? /cc @kendrahavens

I'll add a Mint 18 label next to 16.04 on the Ubuntu page to make that bit clear.

As far as installing the various packages individually, it's not recommended that you do so. If you do give it a try, the host and shared framework packages must be installed in a particular order.

• dotnet-host
• dotnet-hostfxr-1.0.1 and/or dotnet-hostfxr-1.1.0
• dotnet-sharedframework-microsoft.netcore.app-1.0.4 and/or dotnet-sharedframework-microsoft.netcore.app-1.1.0

There is no 'raw' sdk package at this time.
