File:///E:/ Package 'oracle-java8-installer' has no installation candidate

678    Asked by CharlesParr in Java , Asked on Apr 12, 2021

 was trying to install Java 8 using these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

But it throws an error:

Package oracle-java8-installer 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 'oracle-java8-installer' has no installation candidate

How can I resolve this?
