That's very, very behind the times. About 4 releases behind, I think. If
it's not too hard for you, I suggest you install the latest Ubuntu,
Feisty (7.04).

Breezy Badger is so old that those packages aren't distributed by Ubuntu
any more. So when apt-get tries to fetch them, it can't find them on the
ubuntu servers.

You could try "apt-get update" to refresh your computer's list of
available packages, but if that doesn't work, the easiest way is going
to be to upgrade to a more recent Ubuntu. You'll like it better anyway,
I promise.
