Go to the software center -> edit -> software sources and check all boxes. I think the one you need is multiverse, but just to be sure, enable all. Then do sudo apt-get update (unless it updates automatically), now the package should be able to be located.

purge command is used to remove the component with all its dependencies. If you want to install the package use the following command in terminal

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
