I'm trying to install nodejs in Ubuntu, after checking all the missing dependencies I encounter an issue when installing zlib1g-dev, zlib1g is already at 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.1 :
[pp#src]$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
zlib1g-dev : **Depends: zlib1g (= 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4) but 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.1 is to be installed**
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[pp#src]$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g

Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
**zlib1g is already the newest version (1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4.1)**.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
I was able to do the installation with:
sudo apt-get update && sudo sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev

I would try a sudo apt-get update to start (sometimes the problem is trivial!).
Consider including the results of dpkg --get-selections | grep hold
in the comments.
Autoremove might help, too!
Finally, trying again with aptitude (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/767/what-is-the-real-difference-between-apt-get-and-aptitude-how-about-wajig) might highlight the issue.
Tough to diagnose without more information.
Answer for this is given by SeinopSys in Error installing zlib1g-dev
you need to take note of the required package version (in your case = = 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4), then run the command below to downgrade to that version:
$ sudo apt install zlib1g== 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2ubuntu4
Then you can try re-installing.

I've tried sudo apt-get dist-update to no avail (also gives 404 errors).
I've also done unset http_proxy and unset https_proxy;
apt-get -o Acquire::ForceIPv4=true update - it still fails when using IPv4
I can ping 8.8.8.8 just fine.
...nothing's worked yet. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Response from Linode Support:
It looks like you are using an Ubuntu versions that's reached its end of life status.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
You can reference the following link to see if you are able to update this in another manner. The other option is deploy an updated Ubuntu image for your server and copy your data over to the new disk.

I was stuck on this as well. But I got it working.
I had to replace "us.archive.ubuntu.com" and "security.ubuntu.com" in /etc/apt/sources.list WITH "old-releases.ubuntu.com" and then I was able to finish downloading some of the packages, like Ayush Kumar said in sudo apt-get update fail on Ubuntu 17.04.
For the other updates that were listed by my Hosting company, Linode, I used the following:
I had to use the --allow-unauthenticated flag with sudo apt-get update.
sudo apt-get update --allow-unauthenticated
Then I was able to finish updating.
I am truly struggling to install npm. I have installed the nodejs package successfully, but still my operating system Ubuntu 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) doesn't recognize the npm command like it is shown below, even though after several update attempts with sudo apt-get update:

Use aptitude instead of apt-get. It is more intelligent. It not only will handle downgrading conflicting packages for you, but it will make a series of recommendations asking you which of many possible suggested working scenarios you would like.
sudo aptitude install myNewPackage
If you don't have aptitude on your machine yet, get it with
sudo apt-get install aptitude

as i said i'm very new to this so i don't know what needs to be in the sources.list file. I can't actually install anything right now. i tried installing php as well and got the same error. please help :(
The git-core package is obsolete, try installing git.
EDIT
Furthermore you only have squeeze updates repositories in your sources.list, add at least one regular squeeze repository to get access to all packages, not just updated ones:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free
Afterwards run apt-get update to update your local package index.
