    Guys I have just moved this to the Ubuntu forum, please do not hijack threads (even reall old ones

    If you want to use Synaptic, you can either choose it from the menu - System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager. From there search for amsn, select it and hit apply.

    Alternatively you could open a terminal and type
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install amsn

    in synaptic add the multiverse and universe repositories this is in the Settings menu and there are tick boxes that multiverse/universe and then it should all work fine
