I tried to install a Sun Java plugin for Firefox 2 and something did
not work. Could someone tell me what package I need. I believe that
all I need to do is just install one particular package -- but I am
not sure which one.

Thanks

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin

###apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package sun-java6-plugin 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-plugin has no installation candidate
