Bug Description

Binary package hint: sun-java5-jre

There isn't a sun jre for linux other than x86 anyway.
(Maybe kaffe could be used to break the chicken-egg problem of building?)

# apt-get install sun-java5-jre

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-java5-jre: Depends: sun-java5-bin (= 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable or
                          ia32-sun-java5-bin (= 1.5.0-08-0ubuntu1) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

The same with sun java6

I accept that inavailability for sparc is wontfix.
But in this case there should not be a package called sun-java{5,6}

I agree. I see this statement for sun-java6:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/sun-java6
sun-java6-jre (amd64) (hppa) (i386) (ia64) (lpia) (powerpc) (sparc)

This is clearly misleading. Sun is only distributing this for amd64 and i386.
