[Bug 1294388] [NEW] package kvkbd hidden, despite offer to install

[Christopher Barrington-Leigh]

Public bug reported:

The following seems inconsistent. Ubuntu 14.04 offers to install my
package. I take it up on its offer, and it says it's not possible.
Instead, kvkbd should be accessible somewhere.

$ kvkbd
The program 'kvkbd' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install kvkbd

$ sudo apt-get install kvkbd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package kvkbd 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 'kvkbd' has no installation candidate
