Package live-config-systemd 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 'live-config-systemd' has no installation candidate
these three packages including live-config-systemd are available in precise, not later ubuntu's, like trusty which we are on here.

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
live-config-sysvinit : Depends: sysvinit (>= 2.86) but it is not installable
refractasnapshot-base : Depends: live-config (>= 2.0.15) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: syslinux (< 6.03) but 3:4.05+dfsg-6+deb8u1 is to be installed or
isolinux (>= 6.03) but it is not installable
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
any ideas? or i'll just have to backup with a tar command! thanks
