This is obviously not a problem that could be solved by the Radiance 
folks here, but it seams that your apt-installation is broken. There are 
many ways to check why and how this is the case (the most basic would be 
to try to install any other package, maybe you cannot install anything 
at all?). Also working network connections not always mean access to 
apt-sources, e.g. if there is a firewall which blocks one machine and 
lets the others connect.
