E: Package 'libnl-dev' has no installation candidate

My ubuntu version is 16.04LTS, and I couldn't successfully install this package. This is what it has prompted. I have searched on the internet but I can't find a single effective solution... Could some kind people tell me how to figure out this issue...?

Maybe too late but.. If you couldn't fixed it or if anyone get stuck on it, I installed libnl-3-dev and this error disappears. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libnl-3-dev
