Trying to install the VHF Flightstick software using the Raspberry Pi code, but get a message saying "unable to locate package rtl-airband-rb"

Anyone else had this message before?

Listen to my Airband receiver

https://www.airnavradar.com/stations/EXTVHF000597 (https://www.airnavradar.com/stations/EXTVHF000597)

NOTE:
I am currently using a generic black DVB-T which does NOT have any built-in Filter or RF Amplifier. The reception is therefore moderate, with weak signals having background noise.

If an AirNav yellow airband dongle is used, it gives much better reception as it has an integral Filter and RF Amplifier.
