This message is saying that you need one of these packages installed,
and listed in the dpkg control files (ie shown by dpkg -l).

They are available in the multiverse repository.  Add that repository,
then install whichever of the four packages you want to use.
sun-java5-jre and sun-java6-jre are the run-time packages, while
sun-java5-jdk and sun-java6-jdk are the full development packages. Java
6 may not be available for dapper, but is available for edgy in
edgy-backports (described in the Software Sources application on edgy as
'Backported updates' in the internet updates tab).

The Ubuntu package will install in standard locations.  If you have
installed from a Sun binary distribution, you need to remove that
installation and replace it with the equivalent Ubuntu package.  This
will satisfy the dependency that the LimeWire package is missing.
