It appears to me that your sources (for packages) are not properly configured. Can you post the contents of the file /etc/apt/sources.list here? > acually i am a newbie and i started with fedora some 8 months back and > recently shifted to ubuntu and now debian. so if i ask an foolishness > , pls forgive it as a mistake from a newbie. I don't consider any question as "foolish". People ask questions here because they don't know the answers. Only thing you can do is to look for the answers as best as you can. We expect people to do that before they raise the question here. An Internet search will fetch you answers for most questions. Best -- V.
