I have just Updated to the new Ubuntu 16.04. This is a fresh installation of this OS. Trying to install Openjdk 7 but I got this error.

Package 'openjdk-7-jre' has no installation candidate

how do I fix it?

if you really want to install JDK7, add these in your /etc/apt/sources.list file,

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-security main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-proposed main restricted universe multiverse 
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-backports main restricted universe multiverse

by issuing a following command,

sudoedit /etc/apt/sources.list

then run, 

sudo apt-get update

run apt-cache search openjdk-7-jre to verify.
