If you examine the launchpad site for the daily release of livewallpaper, you will find that it supports up to Ubuntu Vivid, but not yet Ubuntu Wily. You will need to find another solution for changing wallpaper, or compile the program yourself.

You did not find the package because it is not part of the standard software repository.

But there is a personal package archive (PPA) that contains it: ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily.

See for a good overview.

The commands to install they mention are:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fyrmir/livewallpaper-daily
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install livewallpaper
sudo apt-get install livewallpaper-config livewallpaper-indicator
