E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

i hope not..this is not my personal system, it's official one ! — Vipin Verma, Oct 22 '12 at 12:03

I suspect there's a problem with the archives in the mirror you are using.

Try opening "Update Manager", click "Settings" and on the "Ubuntu software" tab choose a different "Download from" server.

Then check for updates again and then try apt-get install again.

tried doing this>> sudo apt-get install vim sudo: unable to resolve host l-vverma Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done Package vim is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'vim' has no installation candidate

to check if the problem is with your configuration, try running ubuntu from a liveUSB or liveDVD and see if the problem is present there too. – To Do Oct 26 '12 at 12:46

If that works try copying the /etc/apt/sources.list from the live DVD to your system. Then apt-get update. – To Do Oct 26 '12 at 13:08
replaced the same, still it didn't work :/ – Vipin Verma Oct 29 '12 at 05:25
Did the updating process work on the liveDVD? – To Do Oct 29 '12 at 14:27
