Can't install sshfs on Ubuntu 16.04

Trying to install sshfs on Ubuntu 16.04, have done it many many times before, but today I only get this error trying to install it using this commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sshfs

create this error message: E: Package 'sshfs' has not installation candidate

How can I fix this issue?

    Execute:

    dpkg -l | grep sshfs| awk '{print $2}' |tr "\n" " "

    Any hints on SSHFS?

  • I forgot to say that this is on a "Try Ubuntu" run, using the Ubuntu Image on a VM (in HyperV). It has always worked, using this way to .gz Windows Server image to my FTP server. So nothing gets saved.

    I also tried with the Ubuntu 16.10 image now, and the same error there.

  • Can you show the result of cat /etc/apt/source.list?
    Sshfs is in universe. I guess this might be the reason.

    It work's with Ubuntu 14.04, so problem solved. Don't understand why it don't work with Ubuntu 16.04 or 16.10, but issue solved.

    Thank you for the help.

  • Installs with no problem in 16.04.
