[Bug 1294359] [NEW] apt-get cannot locate package it suggests me to install.

[Remco Haszing]

Public bug reported:

When I try to install synapse in Ubuntu 14.04 I get the following
output:

remco at pc:~$ synapse
The program 'synapse' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install synapse
remco at pc:~$ sudo apt-get install synapse
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done

On Ubuntu 13.10 I can simply install synapse correctly.
