Want to install Sunbird in Lucid

Asked by NakiMum

I'm trying to install Sunbird calendar.

It doesn't show up in Synaptic and when I try to install it from Add/Remove it says: "To show information about this item, the software catalog needs updating."

When I check Software Sources the following are marked:
Canonical
Community
Proprietary
Software restricted
Source code

Trying to install it using Terminal (sudo apt-get install sunbird) just gives me:
sudo apt-get install sunbird
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package sunbird

Any suggestions?
TIA

Hi there Mark

thanks for the links. Got Sunbird installed.
Wouldn't mind using Thunderbird, but just got to love Evolution (just not the calendar with Google - does some funny things at times).
I found the 2nd link to be what I wanted (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1497124)

Cheers
