In a previous mail you mentioned that you get errors with the command

sudo apt-get update

and as long as you have these errors the package list isn't updated. 
Therefore you need to fix that problem first. Can you try another 
mirror? The US mirror mentioned in your other mail may not be the best 
one for your location. OTOH, you may have a bad proxy server 
configuration according to what Alan Pope suggested.
