apt-get install did not work - any ideas why?

I use Kanotix 2005-4. I tried getting 'when' but here is what I got:

root@1[knoppix]# apt-get install when
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package when
root@1[knoppix]# apt-get install When
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package When
root@1[knoppix]#

why is this happening? The Kanotix sourcelist includes all the Debian packages:

# Unstable

Any ideas how I should get the where.deb package?
