    apt say it doesn't have a candidate. Searching the net give me ubuntu

    Odd.

    The OP's retired from teaching eighteen-year-olds how to use Linux in a professional manner.

    charles@peregrine:~$ apt-cache search playonlinux
    playonlinux - front-end for Wine
    charles@peregrine:~$ apt-cache show playonlinux | grep Section:
    Section: contrib/otherosfs
    charles@peregrine:~$


    Which leads me to wonder if you have the contrib component enabled in
    your sources.list or debian.sources.
