How can I install Midnight Commander on Ubuntu 18.04.1? [duplicate]

I can't install Midnight Commander (mc) on Ubuntu 18.04.1.

/etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb bionic main
deb bionic-security main
deb bionic-updates main

And this is the reply I get when I try to install:

$ sudo apt-get install mc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package mc 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

This didn't help (#1):

$ sudo apt-get update

This didn't help (#2):

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mc

It also didn't help to change mirror to , for example.

You need to enable the universe repository:

sudo add-apt-repository universe

and then install mc:

sudo apt install mc
