It's not clear if you want help with this problem. But something to try is to do an 'apt-get update' before doing an 'apt-get install'. Apt-get can error out if the package list needs to be updated but it doesn't give a meaningful error message. If the update doesn't work then you probably have a problem with your network connection.
