Unable to locate package apt-get install rcs, openssh-server, etc.

I have a new out of the box Dell Precision tower 3620 that came with ubuntu 14 installed. I tried to use apt-get to install openssh-server and rcs, got message "Unable to locate package". Obviously these packages have to exist, I have other ubuntu boxes that have these installed. Somehow the default config of apt-get on this dell is different from the default config when I install ubuntu myself. I never tweak the config of apt-get, so I have no idea how to fix. Any clues?
