Hi,

it seems you have just made a guess at what the name of the package is. To search for the actual package you are interested in, you can use apt-cache. For example:

Code:

apt-cache search java

Or perhaps replace "java" with "jre" or maybe "jdk" etc.

If none of the above return anything useful please tell us what OS you are using, and what you have in your /etc/apt/sources.list and any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Hi

Try to install sun java ,if u can't find the package add the appropriate repository to install the sun java

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

To check java is installed already you these command

#java -version

Hi
I could not know why you are getting out the following error.If u could not find sun java repo then you can go ahead with openjdk which could be avialable defaultly on synaptic package manager.To get more help you have to post the version of operating system you are using .

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

If you are running Debian Stable java-package is only in Testing and unstable. it is not in the Stable repos.

Use openjdk6

apt-get install openjdk-6-jre icedtea6-plugin
