Hi Fred,
Does your server have internet access? I've seen this happen when the server box wasn't getting out into the real world. Try to reboot and try again.

This could be network related as Dan mentioned. It could also be some misconfiguration or brokenness in apt. I've noticed this problem if dpkg failed to configure something during the last update or package installation (apt-get/dpkg are pretty hostile to automated use...they like attention and misbehave if they don't get it, kinda like children).
Try running an apt-get install command on the command line and see what happens...we might get a more sensible error message.
