Apt-get problem? Software Center Problem? No Package: header?
So I installed Ubuntu 13.10 on my Gateway DX4850 (i7 CPU, 8 gig RAM, dual boot with Win7, 64-bit) and went to download softwware and some plugins. When I try to go to the software center, a screen flashes and nothing happens. I don't even get to the software center. When I try apt-get for plugins, I get an error as well. Given the error codes (see below, first is the error from trying to get to the software center, the second is from trying apt-get). Same error when trying apt-get update and other apt-get commands. Any ideas?
