lightning-sunbird removed from archive

[TenLeftFingers]

Binary package hint: software-center

I choose Sunbird, but all I see is:

> To show information about this item, the software catalog needs updating.

I can't see where to do this. I tried:
> sudo apt-get update

and re-launched the software center, but the problem remains.

Sunbird was removed from the archives days before the release of lucid [0]. The app-install-data-ubuntu package has not been updated since then, which is why it is still being displayed in software-center.

Not sure why software center is the problem. We(the Mozilla team)
removed Sunbird from archives in Lucid and it will not be coming back
any time soon. Lightning will be pushed to Maverick If all goes weel it
might make a back port to Lucid but it is a good chance.

We removed Sunbird since it is no longer supported by Mozilla and we
never got a chance in time to strip Lightning-sunbird source before
release so we added release notes about Lightning.
