Can't Install Nano

[techdude2008]

Trying to get my Ubuntu Server 8 up and running and I'm having problems. It appears that Nano is not installed (when I type in nano I get: bash: nano: command not found) and the package dependanceies are not working (or not updated)...if I type in sudo apt-get install nano, I get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package nano

So I am guessing the package sources needs to be updated? Is there a manual way to install nano...or a way to update the package sources without using nano?

Try

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nano
