The libsndfile-dev package has no installation candidate

I am trying to install libsndfile-dev. I do the following:

sudo apt-get install libsndfile-dev

As a result, I get the following:

 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package libsndfile-dev is a virtual package provided by: libsndfile1-dev 1.0.17-4ubuntu0.8.10.2 You should explicitly select one to install. E: Package libsndfile-dev has no installation candidate

So, my installation attempt failed. Can someone tell me what I should explicitly choose and how can I do this?

Thanks in advance.
