It sounds like your repository list might be outdated. Try running...

sudo apt-get update

and then run your apt-get line

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

Hopefully that will do the trick. Dale

I just checked and those are resolving fine here in Ohio. My guess is either your network is dying, or you have a DNS issue going on with your system (or even ISP).

You shouldn't have to use a command line to do this on Ubuntu.
