Hi guys,
I went to "apt-get install sun-j2sdk1.4debian", but I was smacked down with this error:
Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: sun-j2sdk1.4debian: Depends: sun-j2sdk1.4 but it is not installable E: Broken packages foozle:/home/cconvey# apt-get install --fix-missing sun-j2sdk1.4debian Reading Package Lists...

So my guess is that there's *probably* something lacking about my sources.list file.
What's the general approach people take to rectify their sources.list file when they get the error that I got?
I mean, I could Google for the missing package (sun-j2sdk1.4), but will that necessarily help me understand what to add in sources.list?
Thanks, Christian
P.S.: Here's the content of my sources.list file:
