[SlugLUG] application/x-java-vm for ubuntu

[Kitty Woldow]

Brent - thank you! That was exactly the type and level of assistance I
needed. I still had a problem though, when I tried it with the 5 version
name:

Package sun-java5-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-java5-jre has no installation candidate.

Figuring that 5 must have been withdrawn, I used the 6 as you suggested, and
got this:

E: Couldn't find package sun-java6-jre

Is there another name or place I should try apt-getting?
