I got this error while writing the following commnad:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
I don't have any is idea why, I am very new to ubuntu, please answer in simple language.
Sound like you may need to chage mirrors and resynchronize the package index files from their sources.
open Ubuntu Software Centre
And choose Edit -> Software Services -> Ubuntu Software -> Download From
Since your current mirror is in India i'm gussing you would like one close to that. Navigate to India -> mirror.cse.iitk.ac.in select the protocol as http
Close Software Centre and then open a terminal and try the below command.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
Try changing the mirror Manish.
To do this , go to System Settings -> Softwares & Updates -> Ubuntu Software and select 'Main Server' or 'Other...' to select other mirrors.
If you select Other... option you can select any other mirror other than the Indian mirrors
