Hello Rick

Here (Hardy 32bit):
java -version 
prints:
java version "1.6.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_17-b04)
...

apt-cache show sun-java6-jre
prints:
Package: sun-java6-jre
Priority: optional
Section: multiverse/libs
Installed-Size: 14356
Maintainer: Ubuntu MOTU Developers <ubuntu-motu at lists.ubuntu.com>
Original-Maintainer: Debian QA Group <packages at qa.debian.org>
Architecture: all
Source: sun-java6
Version: 6-17-0ubuntu1.8.04
....

It should be the same for 64bit arch.:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/sun-java6-jre
(arch.independent)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/sun-java6-bin
(arch. dependent)

Do you have multiverse repository enabled?
