  Could explain me, How can i first download the package. And then install it off-line?
  So I can install it every time without downloading again.

  if you can’t find add-apt-repository command, add the repository into /etc/apt/sources.list manually

  The normal way is to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to uncomment out these two lines:
  deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner
  deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner

  Then do
  apt-get update

  This will fix it forever!

  To: Mark Zaho

  Thanks so much! Your solution worked like a charm!

  I just installed the latest version of Ubuntu server and just doing the ‘apt-get update’ didn’t do the trick, but after I uncommented those two lines it’s working!

  Your solution should be incorporated into the main article so one does not need to pore through all the comments to find the solution ;-)

  Problem with this recipe under oneiric (Ubuntu 11.10)

  Edited /etc/apt/sources.list to uncomment out these two lines:
  deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner
  deb-src http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu oneiric partner

  Then did..
  sudo apt-get update (worked ok)
  sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
  Reading package lists… Done
  Building dependency tree
  Reading 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

  Is sun-java6-sdk no longer available beyond lucid?
