Question:
I just installed Ubuntu 10.4 in VMWare Workstation.
When I try to install java, I couldn't find the package:
xxx@ubuntu:~$sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre 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 the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate I'm confused.

It is in the multiverse repository component, I think.
I can't remember if it is enabled by dafault.
here is info to enable the multiverse for an older version, but it should be similar for 10.04.

You need to enable your universe and multiverse repositories by editing /etc/apt/sources.list
It's not in the default sources list.
