Spamassasin on Ubuntu with VHCS

I need to get spamassasin installed and working on Ubuntu with VHCS.  I have
googled this and found a tutorial or two all of which start with the same
line...

apt-get install clamav clamav-daemon amavisd-new spamassassin

Unfortunately this bombes out immediately with the error...

Skipping clamav and using "apt-get install spamassassin" instead gives

Trying "apt-get update" downloads a few files (the biggest of which is only
40k) and then fails with a similar error

used instead.

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?
