debian apt cant find openjdk-8-jdk


im trying to install openjdk-8-jdk as suggested here with the command:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk

but apt dosnt find the package. i did find it at packages.debian.org manualy and tried to tell apt to also load from there, as suggested on the mirrors page of that package by adding the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main

but apt still cant find the package. i also tried to change the

still no luck.


Solution

    1. add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

      deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main

    2. install openjdk8

      //Update the repositories<br/>
      $ sudo apt-get update<br/>
      $ sudo apt-get install -y openjdk-8-jdk
      

    In fact, I think it is better to search for your question first before ask.
