    Your /etc/apt/sources.list is incorrect: the characters 'in.' need to be removed - the link should look like http://old-releases.ubuntu.co... rather than http://in.old-releases.ubuntu.co... – Charles Green Aug 05 '14 at 15:22

As Charles has said, you need to remove the "in." at the start of your source URL. Open a Terminal and enter this command: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Then find the url thrown by APT in the error message and remove the "in." so that the url changes from http://in.old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-backports/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-backports/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages

Once the change has been made, press Ctrl + O to save the changes, answer 'y' when prompted, and press Ctrl + X to exit nano.

Once that's saved, run sudo apt-get update and try to install your software after that's finished.
