Which distribution is this for? At a guess, Ubuntu since that's what is shown
on screen and _most_ PPAs have been created for Ubuntu.
Contact Alexander Strada is the only advice, I think, if it doesn't work as
a package. You run the risk of creating a FrankenDebian - a mixture from all
sorts of distributions which is almost always a problem in itself. In this
instance, one package may be relatively easy to fix.

command-not-found also exists in Debian. It looks at the command you're trying
to run - if the package isn't installed, it offers to help you install the
package.
The command given above is the command that initialises command-not-found
database so it is hightly likely that this will work to update an existing
database and fix the problem for you.
All the very best,
