Filezilla installation confusion

I'm trying to install Filezilla on a Ubuntu 8.04 system.
What i get is a bit confusing.
Could someone decipher what is going wrong here please?
Here is the terminal output from the initial command until the end of the proces.

Code:

sudo apt-get install filezilla

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree      

Reading state information... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.



Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that

the package is simply not installable and a bug report against

that package should be filed.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies.

  filezilla: Depends: filezilla-common (= 3.0.7.1-0ubuntu3) but 3.1.6-1~getdeb1 is to be installed

E: Broken packages

I just smiled and nodded politely. Can anyone tell me what it's on about?

change you repository server. Its in systems and adminitration and software soruces. Change the server to something else run

Quote:

sudo apt-get update

And then try it, post back if you continue to have problems

Thanks for the reply Megworld
Still no joy however.
I ran the update and then tried again:
