yelp package

when attempting to install many different packages, such as "openssh-server" and "ubuntu-restricted-extras", I get "package not found". I already have, or think I have, the "multiverse" repository enabled.

Why not checking it in
System administration -> Synaptic or Software Sources?
While in there maybe also switch to 'main server' instead of local server.
