The following works for me assuming /etc/apt/source.list is ok.

Type 
$dselect

Choose apt and do not edit your source.list file. Read the help screen and
hit the space bar

Type 
/

This will put you in search mode then type 

ssh "return"

this will search through and locate the first package with ssh in its name.

Typing

\ 

goes to the next entry. At the software you want installed type 

+

Any dependencies will then be brought to your attention. Hitting return here
has always worked for me. Hit return to finish and follow the prompts and it
should install successfully. I am sure people will fill in the bits I have
missed.

The joys of dselect in a few sentences.
