  Subject: Trouble with apt-get


  Hi, apologies if this is a common question...

  I'm trying to setup an apache tomcat server for educational use and I need to 
install the jdk but when I run:

  apt-get install java-package

  I get the following output:

  Reading Package Lists... Done
  Building Dependency Tree... Done
  E: Couldn't find package java-package

  I've check my sources.list file and it contains the following three lines, 
which I think should be sufficient:

  #deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

  deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r4 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-2 
(20061116)]/ unstable contrib main
  deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r4 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 
(20061116)]/ unstable contrib main
  deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib

  I've also run apt-get update 

  But the same error ocurrs.  Wondering if anyone out there can enlighten me.  
Appreciate any assistance.

  Thanks
  Darryl
