aptitude says no install candidate for xulrunner but apt-cache search shows xulrunner = WTF?! (lenny)



I need xulrunner.

I get

apt-cache search xulrunner
conkeror - keyboard focused web browser with Emacs look and feel
conkeror-spawn-process-helper - spawn external processes in Conkeror
iceape-dev - Development files for the Iceape Internet Suite
liferea - feed aggregator for GNOME
liferea-xulrunner - transitional dummy package
totem-mozilla - Totem Mozilla plugin
xulrunner-1.9 - XUL + XPCOM application runner
xulrunner-1.9-dbg - Development files for the Gecko engine library
xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support - Support for GNOME in xulrunner applications
xulrunner-dev - Development files for the Gecko engine library


but sudo aptitude install xulrunner gives:
No candidate version found for xulrunner
No candidate version found for xulrunner
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.

If I try sudo aptitude install xulrunner-1.9, I get:
$ sudo aptitude install xulrunner-1.9

I don't get it.
apt-cache shows the package exists, but aptitude says it doesn't...

What's to be done?

Thanks,
Tony
