Seems the server is being updated, you are getting a 500 based http error implying a server issue. Have you tried switching to a different source. Try the UK mirror.

You can do it in software centre, or you can manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list

I suggest using software centre.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Nazareen for more information if necessary.
