Ubuntu – Unable to locate package, can’t install software

aptinstallationpackage-management

Whenever I try to install any package in Ubuntu 10, I type the command 

sudo apt-get install vlc

and also the command 

sudo apt-get update

but I get this error every time 

unable to locate package vlc

I tried sudo apt-get update again but I still get the same error.

Please help me. Is there something I have to change in the repositories? Please give some suggestions.
