Can't install Firestarter on Xubuntu

Asked by mikus

I recently installed Xubuntu 13.10 and decided I need to set up a firewall.
I have ticked the universe repository through Ubuntu Software Center>Software sources. Firestarter doesn't show up when I search for it through the Software Center. When I type `sudo apt-get install firestarter` in the terminal, it shows this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package firestarter

I also typed `sudo apt-get update` but the results were the same. What am I doing wrong here?

Seems to be still in there. What is the output of:

uname -a

Thanks

I can now access it through Settings Manager>System>Firestarter.
