I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 using the windows store and i started using them but I have a glitch. I'm unable to install any package and the terminal keeps returning these errors.

Ubuntu Terminal error description

It reads the package but provides an error stating

Error Unable to locate the package[package-name]

Some of the errors are

I had the same issue as you and found the temporary solution in this github thread: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/3274

Somewhere in the comments there is linked to a temporary fix: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/1761#issuecomment-392575807
