I just had trouble to install the Sun Java6 JDK after updating to Ubuntu 10.04. The problem was that the system couldn’t find the package sun-java6-sdk and apt-get gave me the message:
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
What I did to solve this problem was to add a new source
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
After that a normal
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
it worked for me.
Thanks it works for me!!!

Excellent. Exactly what I was trying to find on the Internet for the past 3 hours!
Tada! Thanks … I hit a prob upgrading ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 and it/I lost sight of sun-java6-jdk in the repositories.
Excellent for me to ;-)
Genius! It worked perfectly, thanks!
Excellent! Many thanks. This is the right way. Perfect.
Oddly enough, that didn’t work for me straight out as in it didn’t go immediately to installing the source zip file. But when I went back to the graphical package manager I now had a …
sun-java6-source
…which wasn’t there before and which upon installing put src.zip into the root of my jvm directory (/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.20).
Which I then could attach to Eclipse and had to restart Eclipse to get it to recognize it. But it worked!
Thanks so much!
Successfully install after read your blog!! Thanks!!

Excellent job. I had been struggling all morning trying to get it installed. Your suggestion worked for me. Thanks.

Yes!! I was following instructions to install Alfresco on Ubuntu server 10.04 and the jdk install failed even though I edited the sources.list file as directed. Maybe I needed to do the apt get-update because once I did your process worked. Thanks!
Thank you!
This was a lifesaver. THANK YOU!
