Problems getting LAMP to installl

I am trying to get LAMP installed on Debian version 6 stable, the screenshots show the problem. I posted my problem as a comment to the LAMP tutorial and was told to take screenshots and get them inserted into the Forum.

For everyone else following this thread, the tutorial referred to is this one I wrote on the blog:

Since you are using a Debian Installation, you have to follow the following steps instead, since there is no YUM on that Distro as I said in my blog:

If you are on Ubuntu or LinuxMint or other Debian Distros it's even easier, but there is no YUM to use. Instead you will have to use "apt-get". The Advanced Packaging Tool, or APT, is a free user interface that works with core libraries to handle the installation and removal of software on the Debian GNU/Linux distribution and its variants. Take the following steps instead:

1. Install and run tasksel:

sudo apt-get install tasksel
sudo tasksel

2. You will be prompted with a software selection wizard. Select "LAMP Server" and hit Ok to install.

3. When prompted for MySQL password, enter a password for it and hit "OK".

4. Restart Apache to finish:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

5. Configure your firewall as before.

I hope this helps.

I had scrolled down far enough in the LAMP tutorial and was using sudo apt-get-install tasksel, then sudo tasksel which didn't show me any LAMP possibilty. Then I did a comment and was told to send screenshots to this forum which I did. So we are back to square one. The sad part about this, is that XAMPP in Windows is a snap(which since I prefer to work in Linux is really annoying). Sure I could dual boot, but since the Linux is already installed Windows create problems if I now tried to install it. I do have a Win 7 machine and if it comes to that I can use it for local web server installs viaXAMPP

You can always install LAMP on Debian the hard way, by following the following wiki article:
