Whenever I tried to install synaptic or other libraries like sudo apt-get install git-core, etc... it's showing errors.

When it starts running but stops at 22% and also with many errors.

I am not able to install anything. When I tried to install synaptic using 

sudo apt-get install synaptic

it says unable to locate package synaptic.

The internet connections are also working. firefox is working but I am unable to download anything through terminal.

  • Welcome to ask ubuntu. Please add to your question the error messages returned by `apt-get`. Alternatively use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and just add the link to your pastebin. – Sylvain Pineau Apr 12 '14 at 20:33

It's possible that you have a stale repository and it's failing to find the right packages due to updates.

sudo apt-get update

And then try again.

Also, please post the error messages. Those would be a huge help in troubleshooting.
