I am sorry that you are experiencing problems, but your problem description
is a bit unclear. Could you please tell us which commands you run exactly
and what the complete and exact output of these commands are.
(preface them with LANG=C to be sure to get non-translated messages)

[ The message you mention here doesn't exist in apt,
  but a few remotely related do ]
