    i am unable to install
    it shows,,
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    Package fonts-indic 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 'fonts-indic' has no installation candidate
