el-get-install can't install the package, Ubuntu 20.04

The document says:

El-get

If you don’t know how to use el-get you can find more information on its webpage. First install el-get and then (in emacs), press Alt+x (this is in emacs notation written as M-x ) and then type el-get-install. This will prompt you for a package, type solidity-mode and hit enter, this should install all you need.

What happened to me is

  1. press Alt+x
  2. type el-get-install. It prompts: "Intsall Package:"
  3. type solidity-mode. It prompts: "No Match"

Attempted

I tried to run el-get-list-packages and the result is a long list that does not contain solidity-mode


This may be an el-get issue but would be great if the instruction can help users avoid this issue.

Hey @colourful-land PRs are more than welcome. It's quite possible el-get has changed since I wrote the documentation. I checked and solidity mode is still part of el-get.
