I'm unable to install packages using apt-get install command. It produces an error which says: E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing.

After updating it is still unable to install the software. I tried it on both 32 and 64 bit ubuntu. I also could not install it thru the Ubuntu Software Center [Failed to download package files, check your internet connection] - I can access the internet.

The things that i'm trying to install are: mysql-server and libssl-dev. I am clueless as to how to go on. Any help with troubleshooting would be much appreciated. Thanks !

p.s: i have tried as root and with sudo

This is weird. I am able to apt-get now. I am guessing its not my machine's fault? By the way thanks for looking into this! :) – Anonymous Nov 28 '12 at 3:21
