What do you get when you type the following in a terminal

sudo apt-cache policy icedtea-java7-jre

If you get something different to the below:

[root:/#] apt-cache policy icedtea-java7-jre        
icedtea-java7-jre:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:

please post your /etc/apt/sources.list as well.

Thanks
