we noticed some conflicts problems with an already existing scratch package in the ubuntu repos and so we changes its name to scratch-text-editor. Following the package name also the executable name changed so you can fix your problem removing scratch package and then installing the new one (scratch-text-editor)

sudo apt-get -y remove scratch && sudo apt-get -y install scratch-text-editor

Can you help with this problem?
