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.
