I have main, contrib, and non-free in sources-list.

The problem is not a missing libasm-java package.

The problem is that libasm-java depends on either "j2re1.3" or
"java2-runtime", and none of these packages exist anywhere in sarge.

Therefore, it is not possible to install libasm-java, because it is not
possible to meet libasm-java's dependencies.
