I couldn't figure out why I couldn't install a simple package. This is what's annoying about cutting edge Debian distros, yes we know you support each license on average for 1-2 years but why take down the supporting binary packages and basically disable the older versions?

Solution Upgrade your Ubuntu/Kubuntu distro
You're being forced to upgrade to a newer distro so run the following.
sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
vi /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades
and set Prompt=normal
sudo do-release-upgrade
This will download a lot of packages and then run through an upgrade/prompt process replacing/upating different packages and will then finally reboot.
I was impressed that the upgrade was quite smooth and without problem or event so that's the good news. I only did it though because I couldn't install new packages.
