Simply run the following commands in the given order:
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update --fix-missing
If you still have errors, try running these commands with a better Internet connection. Sometimes, on a slow connection the packages fails to download properly.

Most likely its a problem with a cached package! Try to run
apt-get update && apt get clean && apt-get check
(You need to run this as root) This command updates your local package list, cleans the package cache, and checks for missing dependencies.
This command solves most problems with apt-get.
