All resources i have come across say that this should work:
apt-get install libevent-dev
But this fails event even when I have super user privileges.
Does anyone know of a repository for this package?
My operating system is Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
thanks in advance
Error output:

Please edit your question to show us the complete output of a failed attempt. The package is in the 'main' pocket of the Ubuntu repositories for all supported releases of Ubuntu - every install of Ubuntu already has that source included.

ok i have done so, it says it is unable to locate it, is this likely to be an issue caused by what is in my /etc/apt/sources.list file?

That's one line, not complete output. Seems likely that you have bonkered sources. Please edit your question to show the complete output ofsudo apt update
