The problem is that you are trying to mix repositories from totally different versions of Ubuntu.

You have natty and edgy repositories in there, which should not be the case. Mixing different versions will break your install.

Please read this:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

It shows that support for edgy (and edgy repositories) ended in April, 2008

So you need to remove the flomertens.keo.in, givre.cabspace.com and ntfs-3g.sitesweetsite.info entries in your Software Sources menu.

You should ONLY have natty repositories in your /etc/apt/sources.list file and in your /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory.

Can you help with this problem?

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