Can you post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file. What is the name of the package that you're trying to install? If you're trying to install spotify then you need to follow the directions on this link.

@jdkaye - This is a duplicate of this post. Or the other way around looking at the post times. I didn't notice it yesterday.
