Did you successfully run these two commands?

echo "deb http://apt.ckan.org/ckan-1.7 lucid universe" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ckan.list
sudo apt-get update

after those two then sudo apt-get install ckan should work.

That's weird, do you have Ubuntu's universe repository enabled?

By the way, what version of Ubuntu are you using?

Maybe this was a temporary glitch, and if you try again it will succeed.
Also could be that the command beginning with "echo" above needs to run
successfully before this one will run. If neither of those then I'm not
sure.
