Unable to install firestarter

New Ubuntu 6.10 installation.

Synaptic Package Manager (reloaded) fails to install firestarter as does this terminal command.


gg@ggLinux:~$ sudo apt-get install firestarter
Password:

E: Couldn't find package firestarter
gg@ggLinux:~$

Logging in as root > same result.

What do I need to do? Thank you.

firestarter is available in 'universe' repository. enable it in Synaptic, reload repositories and install firestarter.

Casper thank you. I appreciate your help.

I am not able to find any universe in package manager.
I have restated my problem for clarity.

I recently installed Ubuntu 6.10. I have updated and I am trying to understand and use the Synaptic Package Manager by installing firestarter.

My text book “Beginning Ubuntu---” instructs me to select system > administration > package manager > password > settings > repository and then the instructions say to select the settings button and the software properties window will come up but there is no settings button to click.

I believe I saw this window, when I first updated Ubuntu after installation but I have not seen it since.

I can get as far as package manager, settings, but clicking repository brings up the “Software Sources window instead of the Software Properties window.

I can search for firestarter, which comes up in the left side of the package manager and when selected the message on the right says “No package selected”

In this forum “Adding the Universe and Multiverse Repositories” the instructions are the same as in my textbook: Navigate to "System" > "Administration" > "Software Properties". You will have to enter your password here."

But as above on my system, there is no software properties which I might select.

Have I updated erroneously or should I have done this before updating or why it is my Ubuntu 6.10 different.
