Error installing texlive-base package
 
Hi,
Today I tried to install the Tex system on my notebook but
I encountered an error during installing texlive-base package
Code:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  texlive-base
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

After this operation, 31.9MB of additional disk space will be used.

I tried several times. Always get the same error. I provided full output because I am not particularly experienced Ubuntu user.

Try installing it manually using "dpkg -i package_name"
or using Gdebi
here's the package
