Unable to apt-get icewm

[Rookie]

I am new to debian (it's the ubuntu craze!) but I am trying to 'apt-get install icewm' and there is no such package.

Any ideas? TIA!

Search for it in dselect?

use synaptic or 'apt-cache search'

It's possible Ubuntu doesn't package icewm in the main repository, you may have to enable the universe repo to get it.

icewm 1.2.20 was released two days ago. you going to have to wait for a repo or download the deb file and install it yourself (dpkg -i )
