did you do a apt-get update before apt-get install?

What happens if you run $ apt-get install casarest? Could be that you need to enable universe and/or multiverse.

[IanHeywood]

Yes, as part of enabling the SKA-SA PPA. I did a sudo apt-get install casarest, followed by the sudo apt-get install meqtrees lwimager lofar, I get the following:

Cheers.

please remove the lwimager package manually, casarest should replace it but I forgot to add that rule.

Works! Thanks.
