What happens when you try 'apt-get install classpath' and 'apt-get
install classpath-common'? Keep going until you get one that says 'not
installable' instead of 'is not going to be installed', then try that
one and see if it depends on something not available, etc. The info
will be in the apt-get output. Then check the bug reports, and if you
still think there's a (new) bug, file it with the 'reportbug'
tool--against the offending package, not 'jamvm'.
