I assume you can otherwise use the internet OK?

Are you using a proxy? If so, check it is set up:

Otherwise, try altering your ubuntu mirror - the mirror may be having troubles

The mirror is set in the "software sources" program, or alternately can be manually altered in your /etc/apt/sources.list or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ folder.

If this still does not work, can you please open a terminal (ctrl+alt+t), then copy and paste the following command:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install rdesktop

then post the results back here. Be aware that you will be asked for your password, however when you type, no confirmation will be given until you press enter.
