Because it doesn't show up in the database on your computer. update ("aptitude update" - so probably "apt-get update", don't type the quotation marks) and try again, and if it still isn't OK, then look at repositories. > I actually > downloaded > > it manually, but it fails on dependencies. An alternative strategy would be to install the dependencies - but finding out why apt can't handle it is likely to be easier!
