I'M tring to install a bitcoin program and I'M told I need the following package:

garrett@toshiba-laptop ~ $ sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libdb4.8++-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libdb4.8++-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

Any ideas?

Did you try installing the newer version of the same lib. That is, try $ sudo apt-get install libdb5.1++-dev
