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.

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.
