As Oracle support for debian packages has gone quite a while ago, I suppose that you use the method of webupd8

Go to their instructions I linked before and check if your configuration is still valid.

They also provide a method to install Java 8: Install Oracle Java 8 in Ubuntu (Debian instructions linked from there.)

Edit: I think that Oracle does not provide a public download of Java 7 anylonger - you would have to download it from the Java Archive. (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html)

You could try to download the rpm package and use alien to convert it to a .deb package. And did you already consider updating to Java 8?
