Installing with apt-get

[Dotan Cohen]

Anything I try to install with apt-get I get this error:
dotancohen at ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install thunderbird
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package thunderbird 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 thunderbird has no installation candidate
dotancohen at ubuntu:~$

This is my /etc/apt/sources.list with irrelevant comments removed:

And I did of course run "apt-get update". What is the problem?

Thanks in advance.
