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
