I am using Raspbian Stretch with desktop Version: March 2018 Release date: 2018-03-13. I wanted to install the xdotool package, unfortunately without success.
sudo apt-get install xdotool returns:
E: Unable to locate package xdotool
Is xdotool not available for Raspbian Stretch?
On my raspberry pi running Raspbian strech 2018-03-13 I find:
rpi3 ~$ apt list xdotool
Listing... Done
xdotool/stable 1:3.20160805.1-3 armhf
rpi3 ~$
So you should also find it. Be sure yo have the repository in sources.list and update/full-upgrade it:
rpi3 ~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
# Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/ stretch main contrib non-free rpi
rpi3 ~$ sudo apt update
rpi3 ~$ sudo apt full-upgrade
rpi3 ~$ sudo apt install xdotool
apt-get updaterecently, @Sam? If not, try running that and check again. As Fabian says, the package definitely exists, so it must be an issue on your end. Have you been able to install other packages normally?
