Find these lines in /etc/apt/sources.list:

   # deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe
   # deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu warty universe

Uncomment them and add 'multiverse' at the end of both lines.

You can peruse the repositories here:

   http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/

Here's some documentation:

Enjoy.
