Trying to install pip with Ubuntu version 20.04, Python version 3.8 on my Oracle virtual box. Tried everything to install pip but failed

Steps tried

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python3-pip

Also tried

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Error both times

python3-pip is not available but is being used by another candidate. This may mean that the package has been obsolete, has been missing or is only available from another source.

E: Package 'python3-pip' has no installation candidate

    This answer is for kali linux. On ubuntu, you can do `sudo add-apt-repository universe` to access the `python3-pip` package. – fuzzyTew Jan 11 '21 at 23:28
  • This worked for me on WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04. Apparently doing update/upgrade a 2nd time does the trick – Malachi Mar 22 '22 at 16:46
