  • Can you add the full apt-get output? Also did you try sudo apt-get update before install? And what output does it show? Please edit your question to include this information.

First update all the repositories by running,

sudo apt-get update

Then try to install any packages via apt-get or sc. In a newly installed system, you have to update the repositories before trying to install packages or otherwise it shows the error unable to locate package. And also check for the package name is being correct.
