First, if you cannot download stuff using apt-get, you first need to
find out why, or you need to use your web browser to manually download
all the files it wants...

 

Lets diagnose your network connection and other random things first:

 

Are you connected to the internet?  Why do you give the answer you give?
("Because web browsing (works/fails)", etc)  If web browsing works, does
it have a proxy set up?  If so, is the proxy set up system-wide or just
for the web browser?

 

Do you have a default route?

 

What happens when you say 'ping inficad.com'?  How about 'ping
archive.ubuntu.com'?

 

What does 'traceroute -n archive.ubuntu.com' say?

 

Also, let's look at apt. have you used synaptic (it's a gui over apt-get
and friends)?  Try that, tell it to update the files list, select
perlmagick to install, say 'apply', and see what happens.

 

Also, what version of ubuntu are you using (ok, I see its precise, but I
don't remember the mapping from name to number, sorry)?  If its
unsupported you won't find any packages - you'll have to fix your
repositories...

 

Just a few random and wild guesses...

I need this program to run gscan2pdf.

I try to d/l it and it tells me to do 'apt-get install -f' I do that and
then it tries to d/l the program and tells me the ip is not found

Can someone give me some help or recommend another program to scan with?
