It's in the universe repositories:

sudo apt-get install netatalk

Note: I've noticed in some of your other posts that you are -f in your
install commands:

man apt-get

<quote>
-f, --fix-broken
           Fix; attempt to correct a system with broken dependencies in
place.
           This option, when used with install/remove, can omit any packages
           to permit APT to deduce a likely solution. Any Package that are
           specified must completely correct the problem. The option is
           sometimes necessary when running APT for the first time; APT
itself
           does not allow broken package dependencies to exist on a
system. It
           is possible that a system´s dependency structure can be so
corrupt
           as to require manual intervention (which usually means using
           dselect(8) or dpkg --remove to eliminate some of the offending
           packages). Use of this option together with -m may produce an
error
           in some situations. Configuration Item: APT::Get::Fix-Broken.

Generally if the package is available in a repository, then simply
'apt-get install <packagename> will suffice.

Use a '-s' option to simulate prior to the install to see:

$ sudo apt-get -s install netatalk
