Yes. Check that your /etc/apt/sources.list is correct , and run
sudo apt-get update when it is fixed :)
(ubuntu-desktop is in the "main" repository, unsurprisingly ... so if it
is lost, something is wrong with your sources.list )
If your list seems broken beyond repair, go to
http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic/
To generate a new one, move the broken one out of the way with
sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.broken
and put the shiny new one in its place as /etc/apt/sources.list , then
update again as above.
