[Bug 1077674] [NEW] Program suggests installation of package that does not exist

[Eric Urban]

Public bug reported:

I tried to run seamonkey, and I get a suggestion from command-not-found
that is improper.

ericu at eric-phenom-linux:~$ seamonkey
The program 'seamonkey' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install seamonkey
ericu at eric-phenom-linux:~$ sudo apt-get install seamonkey
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package seamonkey is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'seamonkey' has no installation candidate
