Installed app not recognized as installed

I wanted to get the latest version of audacious, so I added a repository (http://philip.magicalforest.se/) and updated. I removed audacious and reinstalled.
When I try to run audacious I get the following message:

The program 'audacious' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install audacious
bash: audacious: command not found

But it really is installed:

Re: Installed app not recognized as installed

I downloaded the package and viewed its contents.  Try audacious2.

Re: Installed app not recognized as installed

I had a quick look at the package and it appears to install the executable to '/usr/bin/audacious2'. Try running 'audacious2' and see if it makes a difference.

Re: Installed app not recognized as installed

You can run

dpkg-deb -c packagename.deb

to list the contents of a .deb.

You may need to run it through grep to actually find what you're looking for.

For the package you have, I downloaded the .deb and ran:

dpkg-deb -c audacious_2.1-jaunty~ppa1_i386.deb  | grep bin

which gave me:

drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2009-07-08 19:56 ./usr/bin/
-rwxr-xr-x root/root    623280 2009-07-08 19:56 ./usr/bin/audacious2
-rwxr-xr-x root/root     27660 2009-07-08 19:56 ./usr/bin/audtool2

Use 'Run' (gmrun). Start typing a few characters and then <TAB> - it'll show you what's available.
