Try locating that file in your file browser. If your architecture is not 
amd64, you will have to substitute that.

It's
  sudo apt-get install rkward
not
  sudo apt-get install software rkward
.

Please check your list of PPAs. You should have exactly _one_ rkward PPA. 
Typically rkward-stable (if you are using the version of R that came with 
Ubuntu 12.04) or rkward-stable-cran (if you are using R 3.0.0 or later).

Then repeat
  sudo apt-get update
clean up using
  sudo apt-get remove rkward
then finally
  sudo apt-get install rkward

If that does not work for some reason, just ask again, including 
the output of
  aptitude show rkward

Regards
Thomas
