[William Chaundy]

I have tried this and only got the response below:

sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin

No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.

Exactly the same when I put in:


sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-plugin

Any ideas!
