I think the Ubuntu Servers may be having a problem. To get a workaround, you can use a mirror instead of Ubuntu's Main servers for updating/installing software.

To do that:

  1. Open up Dash (by pressing the super key).

  2. Search for "update" and click on Software & Updates. You should get a window that looks like this.

  3. Choose a different download server by clicking the drop-down menu next to Download from:

  4. Click Close. And your software repositories should be updated. This is equivalent to the command: apt-get update

You should now be able to install latest versions of the softwares available in your repository from the command line, or the GUI.
