According to packages.ubuntu.com, cinepaint is in the universe 
repository.  Do you have universe enabled?  If so, you should be able to 
install this out of Synaptic, or the Add/Remove tool at the bottom of 
the Applications menu (gnome-application-installer, gai for short).

When I open gai, cinepaint is the 5th entry on the graphics tab.
