problem installing gparted

Hi,

I installed Ubuntu 7.04 on my computer off a live CD.  When I boot from the
CD, GPartEd is visible under the System/Administration menu.  However, the
Ubuntu installed on my hard drive does not have gparted installed (there is
no GPartEd icon at the System/Administration menu).
When I go to the Terminal and type in "sudo apt-get install gparted", it
gives me this:

Reading package lists...Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information...Done
Package gparted is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that it is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available
from another source
E: Package gparted has no installation candidate

Using the synaptic package manager, I can see that my system does have
libparted 1.7.1, as well as the parted package.  There is nothing when I
search for gparted though.
I can't install gparted via add/remove programs because my ubuntu computer
is not connected to the internet.  I do have the live CD for Ubuntu
7.04though, and I was wondering if anyone knew how to install gparted
from that?

I would greatly appreciate any help on getting gparted to install.

Thanks.
