Sun Java in 9.10?

I installed xubuntu 9.10 from disk to my laptop.  As I usually do I 
installed Sun's Java.  I noticed after playing with it that it was one 
revision out of date (it is 1.6u15 and current is 1.6u16).  I did an 
update and there was nothing new so I looked at the Synaptic Package 
Manager and found 1.6u15 but not 1.6u16.  I un-installed it thinking 
maybe it was just confused and reloaded the package list but still no 
1.6u16.  I then checked my other computer that was upgraded from 9.04 to 
9.10 and it had 1.6u16 and the Synaptic Package Manager even showed 
1.6u16.  Is there some reason that an install from a disk would have 
different packages available?  Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks,
