Why am I getting the error "unable to locate package ca"?

In the exercise 3:1 Installing Kubernetes Lab, step 7, when I issue the command to install packages, I get this error.

Hi @don.perkins,

It is possible there is a typo in a package name.

Instead of typing out each installation instruction (hence the typo above), you could follow the lab guide and run the installation script as instructed in Step 5 of Lab exercise 2.2.

I downloaded the lab guide PDF, ran a compare of my text vs the lab guide copied text. I now see the typo. I had "ca=certificates" instead of "ca-certificates" .. Once I zoomed in on the online lab PDF viewer, I could see it was a hyphen, not an equal sign. Thanks Chris!
