What package manager are you using?  This sounds to me like Ubuntu talk.  
(Though others seem to be accepting it, so it's probably just me.)

And what does /etc/apt/sources.list say?  Open your favourite editor, e.g. 
gedit, kwrite, whatever, even Libre Office (i've just checked!), open the 
file and copy and paste the contents in a post.

To give you an idea of roughly what it should look like, mine at present is 
below my signature.  More labels are recommended.
