Ubuntu – Unable to locate package lightread

12.10aptinstallationpython

I have changed my source to local server. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10.

When I type apt-cache search in terminal, it shows nothing.

When I install lightread it shows Unable to locate package lightread.

When I install lightread manually by python. It shows

python '/home/peng/Downloads/quickly_trunk/setup.py' 
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/peng/Downloads/quickly_trunk/setup.py", line 93, in <module>
data_files=[('share/icons/hicolor/128x128/apps', ['data/media/lightread.png'])]
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/DistUtilsExtra/auto.py", line 71, in setup
src_mark(src, 'setup.py')
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/DistUtilsExtra/auto.py", line 527, in src_mark
src.remove(path)
KeyError: 'setup.py'

How to solve the problem?
