As is Thunderbird. I suggest that you check your software
sources/repositories & /etc/apt/sources.list

My _guess_ is that your sources are screwed up. What do you see when you
do a standard 'sudo apt-get update'? If you see errors then that should
provide a clue. Also, you might want to try another repo server as quite
often I find the standard Ubuntu repo servers to be unreliable.
