Reading package lists... Done

Package sun-java6-jre 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-jre has no installation candidate

wat version of ubuntu are you running?

for ubuntu 10.04 try this source:
The first step is to add the necessary repositories to the /etc/apt/sources.list file. So open that file up with your favorite text editor and add the following line to the bottom of that file:
to get that done do the following: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner
Now to update apt, issue the command:
sudo apt-get update
Once apt has completed its update, you are ready to install. The actual installation command is:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

You are doing something wrong then. I'll try and take you step by step:
1. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
2. add the following line at the bottom of this file(you can select it with the mouse and copy/past it): deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner
3. press ctrl+o to save
4. sudo apt-get update or sudo aptitude update
5. sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
Then you're done
