This is especially true when the quoted error text is *clearly* made up. unicorn:~$ sudo apt-get install sdfhskdf Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package sdfhskdf unicorn:~$ sdfhskdf bash: sdfhskdf: command not found Neither of these cases matches the OP's error text, so it's entirely unclear what command the OP actually ran, or what it did, or failed to do. However, I agree with the earlier suggestion that the sources.list file is the best starting point.
