ubuntu 8.10

I have tried going back to ubuntu 8.4. but I can't even get past installing the
essential tools. I get this

bigfella@bigfella-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential zlib1g-dev
[sudo] password for bigfella: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package build-essential 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
E: Package build-essential has no installation candidate

not sure of my next move!
