Download synaptic package manager->search for ros-melodic-joint-state-publisher-gui ->select ->apply

  1. sudo apt-get update
  2. sudo apt-get install synaptic

That would do the exact same thing as sudo apt install ros-melodic-joint-state-publisher-gui which the OP has already done.

wen developers don't know the command for the specific package they can use the synaptic manager to find the packages it has nice UI and it can be used for most of the cases not only to find the packages for ros
, even this command will do the job to find the packages "apt search ros-melodic or sudo apt install ros-melodic-PACKAGE" (keep in mind this manger we can use all around for software development )

I'm not claiming there is no value in installing synaptic, but the steps you described would at best reinstall the package the OP claims he has already installed.
