Seamonkey was DELETED from the Ubuntu repositories (Mint is based on Ubuntu) way back in 2012: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package...base/seamonkey
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeaMonkey

But you ought to be able to install it straight from seamonkey-project.org by following these instructions: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc...#install_linux

you can always grab the binary blob from mozilla
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/seamonkey/releases/
it dose not change as fast as firefox

the 64 bit uses the 64 bit plugins and NOT the 32 bit wrappers
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/seamonke.../2.40/contrib/
and the 32 bit
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/seamonke...40/linux-i686/

as to installing ??
Have you even read the instructions ?
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
they are right there on the web site
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc...-and-uninstall

I currently use Seamonkey in Mint 18 (and previously in Mint 17, Mint 16, Mint 15...)
I get it from the ubuntuzilla PPA.

This is where the Ubuntuzilla repository comes in. This repository tracks official Mozilla releases, and aims to push out the updated packages within a day or two of their release.
Read below for specific instructions for using this repository to install Firefox, SeaMonkey, and Thunderbird.
The repository to add, if you're adding it manually to your sources.list, is
Code:
deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main
OR, you can use the following command to add it to your sources.list in one step:
Code:
echo -e "\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
If you wish, verify that the repository has been added, by looking at /etc/apt/sources.list in your favorite text editor, or running "tail /etc/apt/sources.list" in the terminal.

Then add the package signing key to your keyring, by running the following command:
Code:
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
Update your package database:
Code:
sudo apt-get update
Install Seamonkey with:
Code:
sudo apt-get install seamonkey-mozilla-build
To have your Seamonkey launcher open the Seamonkey Composer (html editor) instead of the browser, edit the "Mozilla Build of Seamonkey" launcher to seamonkey -editor %u
