Bug Description
I followed the guide at https:/
When I tried "sudo apt-get install arj cabextract cpio lha nomarch pax rar unrar unzip zip", it failed to install lha.
The multiverse repositories are already enabled in /etc/apt/
The error message is:
bbell@saturn:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package lha 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
E: Package 'lha' has no installation candidate
Please fix the instructions for getting lha installed, or remove it from the list of filters.
The package exists in lucid and precise, but not trusty.

There is a package 'lha' in Precise but not in Trusty. However, there is something called 'lhasa' in Trusty and it appears to be a replacement.
$ apt-cache show lhasa

Description-en: lzh archive decompressor
Lhasa lha is a tool for parsing LHA (.lzh) archives and a free
replacement for the Unix LHA tool.
.
Currently it is only possible to read from (ie. decompress) archives;
generating (compressing) LHA archives may be an enhancement for future
versions. The aim is to be compatible with as many different variants
of the LHA file format as possible, including LArc (.lzs) and
PMarc (.pma).
.
The command line tool aims to be interface-
Unix LHA tool (command line syntax and output), for backwards
compatibility with tools that expect particular output.
