That is not the correct command.

sudo apt-get install tasksel
sudo tasksel install lamp-server

That worked.. Before that I was trying apt-get which didn't work. – Mahammad Adil Azeem Jan 07 '14 at 13:16

To install LAMP server, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

sudo apt-get install lamp-server^

That's indeed the command recommended by the documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP First time I tried I forgot the ^ at the end and thus got the same error as asker. – Nicolas Raoul May 28 '14 at 08:22
