[Malvern] java in ubuntu

[Andrew Oakley]

As Glyn suggested, make sure you have the Multiverse repository enabled.
Here's a guide for Hardy, I expect the process is similar on later
versions:

sitories-in-ubuntu-804-hardy.html
 
If you still have trouble, please can you post your
/etc/apt/sources.list file and a directory listing of your
/etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. For example:
 
egrep '^#*\s*deb' /etc/apt/sources.list
ls -shp1 /etc/apt/sources.list.d
 
(the egrep command above strips out the human-readable paragraphs of
comments; we just want to know the deb lines, even if they're commented
out; the ls command lists files one-per-line using shortened syntax
instead of the full -l detail)

	I have tried this and only got the response below:
	
	sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin
	Password:
	Reading package lists... Done
	Building dependency tree       
	Reading state information... Done
	Initialising package states... Done
	Building tag database... Done      
	Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched
"sun-java6-jre"
	Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched
"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!
