Thanks.  I hoped to find out what to do that the package would
work without setting an explicite CLASSPATH.  Unfortunately I
havn't found a way to do that.

Today I saw that jikes resides under main.  If I would found out
that freetds_jdbc would work under JVM kaffe I could change the control
file this way

  Package: freetds-jdbc
  Architecture: all
  Depends: java-compiler-dummy, java-virtual-machine-dummy, java-common
  Description: Pure Java JDBC driver for MS SQL and Sybase

and this would enable it to go into main.  Is this correct?

Kind regards

        Andreas.
