Bug Description

I tried to run seamonkey, and I get a suggestion from command-not-found that is improper.

ericu@eric-phenom-linux:~$ seamonkey
The program 'seamonkey' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install seamonkey
ericu@eric-phenom-linux:~$ sudo apt-get install seamonkey
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package seamonkey is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'seamonkey' has no installation candidate
ericu@eric-phenom-linux:~$
