As Charles has said, you need to remove the "in." at the start of your source URL. Open a Terminal and enter this command: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Then find the url thrown by APT in the error message and remove the "in." so that the url changes from http://in.old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-backports/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/quantal-backports/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages
Once the change has been made, press Ctrl + O to save the changes, answer 'y' when prompted, and press Ctrl + X to exit nano.
Once that's saved, run sudo apt-get update and try to install your software after that's finished.
