Apologies. I _assumed_ that you had read the release notes _prior_ to
installing 10.04 :-)

Sun Java moved to the Partner repository

For Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, the sun-java6 packages have been dropped from the
Multiverse section of the Ubuntu archive. It is recommended that you use
openjdk-6 instead.

If you can not switch from the proprietary Sun JDK/JRE to OpenJDK, you
can install sun-java6 packages from the Canonical Partner Repository.
You can configure your system to use this repository via command-line:

  add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"

Is sun-java6 Flash 10.1 not working on your 64bit system? Enable the
partner repository :-) and then:

$ sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
