I suspect there's a problem with the archives in the mirror you are using.

Try opening "Update Manager", click "Settings" and on the "Ubuntu software" tab choose a different "Download from" server.

Then check for updates again and then try apt-get install again.

  • tried doing this>> sudo apt-get install vim sudo: unable to resolve host l-vverma Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package vim 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 'vim' has no installation candidate

    If that works try copying the /etc/apt/sources.list from the live DVD to your system. Then apt-get update.
