Can't install sun-java6-bin package on Ubuntu Hardy (8.04)
I just upgraded to Hardy from Dapper and can't install java for the life of me:
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk [sudo] password for bobpete: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package sun-java6-bin is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source However the following packages replace it: sun-java6-jre E: Package sun-java6-bin has no installation candidate
I've inspected /etc/apt/sources.开发者_运维知识库list
and run apt-get update
several times, but no luck:

Update: @tux21b your suggestion results in the following:
$ sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk [sudo] password for bobpete: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate
The package sun-java6-bin doesn't exist anymore, because the content of it is now in the -jre package. Just read the error message carefully:
However the following packages replace it:
sun-java6-jre
E: Package sun-java6-bin has no installation candidate
Simply try without the -bin package:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk
Edit: Sorry, I just saw that the package is in the "multiverse" section, so you must enable that before...
The line you have to add to your sources.list is:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse
Then you can do a apt-get update
and retry to install the packages.
Being a total noob my self. Let me put this down VERY EASY, because i also struggled with this.
To be able to install sun-java with the "apt-get" command, you need to add a line to a file called "sources.list". This line can be found in /etc/apt/sources.list. You edit it by writing: nano ../etc/apt/sources.list
Than at the very end of (bottom) of that file, you copy/paste the line: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy multiverse
Now press Ctrl + X to exit, and "y" for saving.
Now type the command: apt-get update And when that is done, you can successfully run the command: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
Try only..
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
That should install the jre and bin stuff as dependencies.
