It clearly says

So replace ttf-sinhala-lklug with fonts-lklug-sinhala. Which will make full command like

I have created a custom XKB symbols mapping file to make the Sinhala installation work with Wijesekara layout. All the information you need to know about using it is in the git hub repository.

This may not be the best solution. But serves the purpose. https://github.com/para-d/si-wijesekara-keyboard

I guess you are using SL software repository which ttf-sinhala-lklug isn't available.

Just follow the below steps,

• Open a terminal ( Pressing Ctrl-Alt-T )
• Open software-properties-gtk, sudo software-properties-gtk This will open Software Sources manager
• Then change the server to the Main server. You can also enable repositories from that window

Now you will be able to install ttf-sinhala-lklug once you update your software repository.
