tasksel: apt-get failed (100)

}
I was installing Xfec desktop environment in the Debian 8 OS. I logged in as root and command tasksel in the shell. Among the other chooses, I selected the Xfce
At the time the installation is few seconds left, I get the message tasksel: apt-get failed (100).
I did an sudo apt-get update but the issue seems stayed as it is after the next try. What to do now?

It's probably a good idea to check logs in/var/logto see why apt-get failed.

1.Check your /etc/resolv.conf.
2.Check your /etc/apt/sources.list
3.Run apt-get update && apt-get install vim(or whatever the app is) for testing to see if it works.
4.Reboot and try it again...
