Reading package lists ... Finish
Dependency Tree
Reading state information ... Finish
Scons package is not available, but from another
Package referenced. This may mean that the package is missing, that obsolete
or is only available from another source.
E: scons package has no installation candidate

The only things I can think of are:-
;temporary problem with the repository (it certainly works at the time

;your apt database is corrupted
;weird dependency problem/conflicts
