[Bug 1270525] [NEW] "package does not exist, check the spelling of the package".

[adelina]

Public bug reported:

Dear anybody,

I am not that known with Linux but I am doing my best.
It all started with not being able to download any software from the Ubuntu Software Center or update anything from the Update Manager. I got this error: "Failed to download repository information".  After that I went to the Software Sources, to Other Software tab and chose the desire PPA from the list and removed it. 

So I tried again installing some software, instead it gave me the error
"package name doesn't exsist, check the spelling of the package." Also
The button "download" on Ubuntu Software Center at the same package I
was trying to download wasn't there anymore. I tried another one just to
check out if this was normal and voila that one disappeared as well!

This been going on like for a very long time now, so am kinda fed up with it. Also am not an expert.
Please can someone help me fix this. Thank you.
