I am having a problem to install sun-java6-jdk on Ubuntu 10.04.

I googled and tried all but none of them worked.

When I type 

apt-get install sun-java6-jdk

, I get the following message.

Reading package lists...Done Building state information ...Done Package sun-java6-jdk 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-jdk has no installation candidate.

Could anyone tell me how to install sun-java6-jdk on Ubuntu 10.04 please?

Thanks in advance.
