[Resolved] trouble with apt

I'm trying to install openjdk-7 but when I run:

   apt-get install openjdk-7

I get:

E: unable to locate package openjdk-7

If I look at /etc/apt/source.list, I see that the following line:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian and if I go to the URL, I see that
the URL http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/o/openjdk-7/ has what I'm looking for.

So it looks like the debian distribution has openjdk-7, but it is not being found by apt-get.
Can someone help me install openjdk-7 using apt-get?

As far as I know openjdk-7 is only available in testing and unstable.
In Stable you have only openjdk-6.

Re: [Resolved] trouble with apt

apt-cache search openjdk

then you'll see what's available. Install with sudo apt-get install <packagename>
