I'm new to Linux; I just installed Ubuntu today, so I don't know anything. Sorry if I'm asking a stupid question. What does "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libcurl3" mean?

I was trying to install Adobe Flash Player and that's what came up.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi and welcome to the forum. What exactly did you do (i.e. commands, actions you took etc) before getting the error message?

You could try the instructions here (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/) for installing flash and other plugins.

I did Click here to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package (apt:ubuntu-restricted-extras?section=universe?section=multiverse)
and then tried installing it again, but I got a different error. I downloaded the plugin and clicked "Install Package" and then it says "could not download all required files" and the details say "Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock". What's going on?

On the link I provided above, try the instructions for Ubuntu 8.10, 8.04 and 7.10. They should work even on 9.04.

Failed to lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
Hi Ichinenjuu,
This happens when trying to use another package manager (gdebi apt-get, synaptic. update-manager) while one is already open. You can only have one one running at a time.

Thank you for mentioning that you need to install Java. This solved the problem. I installed Java runtime 6.
