This will install the Debian packages of HylaFAX prepared by their  
maintainer.

Either another program is accessing the package database or a stale  
lockfile.

Close all programs that might access the package database, e.g. adept  
or any program that shows the installed packages.

If you are absolutely sure that no such program is running, remove the  
lockfile var/cache/apt/archives/lock and try again.

This message looks incomplete, but it's related to the other error  
message above.

This is probably a source distribution. You have to compile and install  
it manually. If you don't know how to do this I suggest you use the  
prepared Debian packages.

If you use the Debian packages, this should be automatically handled by  
the package system. Otherwise you would have to compile and install  
Ghostscript manually.

This command means you want to install a Debian package named  
"hylafax-4.3.0". apt-get expects to find this package at one of the  
package sources you configured in /etc/apt/sources.list.

There is no such package.
You cannot install an unpacked tar.gz archive with this command.
