Question

I am trying to install java on my debian machine, and have found several how to's but

sudo apt-get install java-package

gives me "Couldn't find package java-package". Do I need to add a repository in my /etc/apt/sources.list file? Here are the current repos i have.

tone@homeserver:/etc/apt$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.4 _Lenny_ - Official amd64 CD Binary-1 20100131-21:33]/ lenny main

deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.4 _Lenny_ - Official amd64 CD Binary-1 20100131-21:33]/ lenny main

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main

deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main

deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main

Answer 1

You need to add contrib to your package list. So:

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib
deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib

Answer 2

The packages for sun jdk/jre on debian are named sun-java$version-*, if you want to install the sun java 5 jre then its sun-java5-jre that will install the necessary packages.

You can find packages for debian usint their package search site that helps a lot.

EDIT: also, if you search the site I linked above you will see that sun-java packages are on the non-free suite, and you need to add then to your apt sources file.
