Error installing/removing any software package

Asked by Salma Hegab

Hello,

So I'm a newbie to ubuntu but I'm using the power of google to know what to do. I did all the steps as in this page:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure

And here I'm copying the full terminal output for the step 5 list https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure

Hope anybody can help as I am not able to install/remove or upgrade any software at the moment.

Please go to above site. Look at EOL (end of life) dates. You will notice that 13.04 was EOL on 1-27-14. On the EOL date, all support stops, nothing is there for you to get. If you try to upgrade, 13.10 is also EOL. I suggest that you do a new clean install of Ubuntu 14.04, it will be supported until April 2019. 14.10 is EOL next month, also not a good choice.

I suggest you wipe Raring and do a clean install of Trusty. Trusty is LTS and supported til April 2019

Can you help with this problem?
