Your mileage may vary but the only way I could get around this problem was deleting all the puppet related .list files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d.

Files were 

puppetlabs.list
puppetlabs-pc1.list
puppet.list

Once that was done, I could run apt-get install puppet and the command worked just fine.

Looking at the command prompt, you are using Ubuntu. Puppet isn't compatible with all versions of Ubuntu. I was getting the same error messages on Ubuntu 16.06 for the same version of Puppet (3.8.7-1). I tried a million things till I realized it was OS version to Puppet version match.

https://docs.puppet.com/puppet/3.8/install_debian_ubuntu.html

If you install a version of puppet supported by the OS you are using. It should install. Without knowing what version of Ubuntu you are on, it is possible this isn't the problem, but if so, you should be in good shape. Links below if you are on 16.04:
